It’s interesting that so many of the comments are basically, “it’s objectively better in every way, and the people in industry who aren’t using functional languages are too short sighted, greedy, or dumb to see it.”
Could be, but every time I’ve heard academics talk about an industry practice with this level of contempt, they’ve been missing something really obvious. What is it in this case, that syscalls break the purity model in any non trivial real world use case? That performance isn’t actually up to snuff with these runtimes?
