no, pick one that is a decent compromise and move on
no one is going to dismiss the entirety of a platform like nginx because they can't script it in their favorite language
- rektide 4y agoYour last argument was, > but people like code reuse, so its almost always better to communicate, collaborate and share at the source code level than at the level of a compiler target And now you argue we should all only ever have Lua to collaborate on. Cause that's the only big player in embedded scripting atm. Js alas didn't take off but it's not that bad to embed. Few other languages have much at all. There are some projects to make ebpf embeddable in apps. You seem to really have it in for what seems like a perfectly good attempt that seemingly makes a lot of sense & has hugely obvious benefits. I don't get the opposition to trying.
