What gives you the impression of the industry gravitating more towards compiled systems?
I see JS/TS going stronger than ever, Java and .NET still very strong and growing, Python again stronger than ever, WASM on the rise.
What's on the "compiled" side, apart from probably Rust making headlines on HN? What are the major products or services written in Rust? What are the unicorns with Rust secret sauce?
C/C++ is still strong, but is it expanding? Is Go even in the "compiled" camp?
- bayesian_horse 4y agoThe only thing that comes to mind is JITs everywhere and maybe that dotnet is trying to do more stand-alone compiling stuff. Other than that, completely agree.
- lispm 4y agoWhat about GraalVM, which sports native AOT compilation?
- gpderetta 4y agoIn what way is go not in the compiled camp.
- nlitened 4y agoI personally put it in the "compiled" camp, but I've seen understandable arguments that Go has such a thick runtime (GC, IO/fiber scheduling, CSP, reflection), it's almost Java
- djha-skin 4y agoThese are all growing and strong. My point was that new languages that we see coming out are compiled. Nim and Zig are examples. There's even languages that are a direct answer to "compiled Clojure" such as Carp and Janet, and most directly, Jank. When was the last time you saw an interpreted language as a new language come out in the last few years?
- fnordsensei 4y agoMaybe there’s more to be fixed with compiled languages than VM ones, currently.
