"Or rather, if the problem is resource and dependency and configuration management, we should solve the problem by moving to those languages that support fat binaries. Because fat binaries solve the main problem, without creating additional problems." This is the same attitude as the Javascript attitude. "Javascript is portable, so therefore all other languages are irrelevant." This attitude is wrong. It is wrong because programming is hard. We have spent many decades trying to figure out how to program effectively. To produce simple maintainable code. Solving the hard problems, the interesting problems, is still too hard for us. The idea that "any language will do so long as it is portable" might as well lead us to write in LLVM-IR!
