Seriously. There’s so many floating around. It feels like there’s a cycle of
Random programmer thinks xyz language sucks -> she/he makes a slightly different, slightly faster, slightly more secure version -> by luck this gains mass adoption-> random programmer thinks new xyz language sucks
I propose when the revolution comes and the last guillotine falls we decide a general-purpose programming language that coders should stick to. I vote Lisp or any of the dialects (scheme, clojure, racket), but i also feel something about the Julia language for scientific research. Maybe we can decriminalize using C. Absolutely ban and hunt down the use of any of the hipster languages teenagers are into these days.
Nim? Zig? Crystal?? I am absolutely losing my damn mind. It compiles to bytecode people. Make up ur damn minds. To jail with all of u
All these cutting edge new languages are just wrappers around the same C libraries some anonymous grad students wrote in the 70s funded by some tiny government grants.
"You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to C."
All these cutting edge new languages are just wrappers around the same assembly code by Kathleen Booth in the 1940s for her university computer.
I don't see all my programs linking against that
Programming languages and operating systems are really best developed together tbh
Otherwise you end up building an new, extremely unimaginative operating system into your programming language that is usually permanently linked with the operating system you developed it with anyway
