Except that's your specific attitude towards language adoption. And while it's a perfectly reasonable stance, there's plenty of people who see a language with no libraries and see an opportunity to build their own. Every language ecosystem has to start somewhere.
Also, Rust started in the last 10 years and wasn't built on anything. Unless you count LLVM?
- bunderbunder 8y agoOne of the main things that attracts me to non-mainstream languages is that they offer a chance to build some of the kinds of things I like to build for fun, without a bunch of killjoys nagging me about how $language already has $library. Granted, there are still killjoys who want to nag about how $language isn't on the TIOBE index, but they're usually easier to ignore.
