But when I look at the complete toolchains required to maintain “modern” applications it’s not ok. There are too many different languages in a single application, too many declarative configuration surfaces, too many chained pipes. I grew up in a time where you wrote code, compiled and ran. We are overdue for a major collapse of how deep tooling is tolerable for a simple roundtrip source change. If you’re a pro developer (and I assume you are) then you can ignore this. You can afford to spend 40 hours debugging your toolchain, teaching through 5 different languages and configuration environments to locate a problem. But tolerable isn’t good enough for me. Frankly, I’m tired of spending my time slogging though DSL after DSL and runtime after runtime. I miss just code. I believe we are overdue for a resurgence of native languages that can be written just as pure compiled or intetpreted code without a stockade of bizarre executables propping them up.
