It's very strange to me that the first pitch is that because desktops, laptops, and phones, are now all 64-bit, that is why we can now create a cross-platform language... that replaces scripting-ish languages.
I could understand if this was saying the 64-bit transition made things like Zig/Rust much simpler, but this seems like a non-sequitur for what Beads appears to be for.
- jb1991 5y agoI'm a little confused as well. A cross-platform language can work on any platform, like I can take my C++ code and run it on 64-bit or 32-bit, and this is true with plenty of other languages as well. I don't understand the relationship there at all.
- nicaragua 5y agoFrom what I can tell, this language just transpiles into JavaScript, so technically it can run on any platform JavaScript runs on (except the transpiler itself, which I don't see why he didn't just write it in JavaScript as well).
- koprulusector 5y agoCame here to say this. I was immediately turned off by the marketing pitch and this non-sequitur given the link description. EDIT: didn’t finish reading your comment when replying, but it’s telling we both used the phrase non-sequitur
