It would have been nice for it to say "JavaScript" in the title of the blog post, anywhere in the blog post, or in the title of the video. That's what I suspected, but I had to scrub through the video just to confirm, which is probably more effort than most people would be willing to put in.
- Glench 8y agoWhile I showed REPLugger with a JavaScript program I wrote, the principles apply to any language, even compiled ones (if they compile fast enough).
- alanbernstein 8y agoHow much effort is it to create a version for another language? Say, python?
- Glench 8y agoAs I said near the end of the video, this is a research project meant to demonstrate the concept and a lot of engineering would need to be done to make it work generically. If a small team were to tackle the project, I estimate it would take about 2-3 years of effort. That said, I prefer Python and only used JavaScript in the video because I had a large project done in JS that I wanted to validate the idea against to make sure it wouldn't just work for toy programs.
