How many major software projects do you know of that will casually add a programming language?
- jhasse 8y agoIt wouldn't be casually if the parallel renderer brought in some real benefits.
- pcwalton 8y agoEvery time I've suggested something along those lines to the Chromium folks I've gotten "we're doing it in C++ ;)" I mean, it makes sense—Google has an enormous team on Chromium and they don't want to have another language to support. But that is precisely why it's important to not have the entire Web under Alphabet's reporting structure.
