where are the assembler startups if more powerful languages don't give benefits?
- incepted 11y agoWhere did I say that more powerful languages don't give benefits? Besides, assembly fails the "allows to execute quickly" test.
- fleitz 11y agoRuby has very similar expressive power to LISP... I'm pretty sure that what PG was trying to say was that given two languages X and Y that if X is more powerful (expressive) than Y it will be better for startups. Not that if you don't use X there is no way your startup will be successful, and certainly not that if you don't use LISP you won't be successful.
