Hm, why do i think it is funny you recommend Julia and CL in a thread about PyPy, while preferring Java to Clojure, Kotlin and Scala?

- pjmlp 6y agoBecause 30+ years of experience have taught me to only use platform languages for production code. Clojure, Kotlin and Scala are guests with temporary permit until the landlord acquires all features that matter to the masses, then they will join Beanshell and friends. Julia and Common Lisp are the landlords of their own stacks. As for the feature of the language themselves, I always considered myself polyglot, using the platform languages for each kind of deployment scenario.

- pjmlp 6y agoI only use Typescript where it is the platform, e.g. Angular. With other Web frontend frameworks, I use straight JavaScript, and direct HTML tags without any build tool. Also if I am responsible for the whole stack, I use the JavaScript minifiers from the SSR frameworks like JEE and ASP.NET.
