This is absolutely the problem. Fast languages like C#, Java, Go and even JS almost nothing is native. It's normal to have even large projects with no FFI'd native code.
Python and Ruby are trapped in the C extensions spiral. Languages are slow so everything uses C bindings, which makes it hard to speed up the language
- pjmlp 6y agoAnd in what concerns Java and .NET platforms, it has been acknowledged that too much of low level capabilities have been left out and those features are being added, even if slower than many of us would like to, so eventually even the stuff that might still require a native library today, won't be necessary in the future.
