Indeed. The burden is 2x at least. They already estimate it's going to take 5+ years, so that's 10x the cost of a current library. At least.
If the burden becomes too big, at some point people may find it is the easier option to switch to a different ecosystem. I hope not.
- JonChesterfield 3y agoI hope it'll be lua. I fear it'll be javascript.
- anyoneamous 3y agoI hope it'll be Nim, I fear it'll be Julia.
- concordDance 3y agoLua? Really? That's by far the most unpleasant language I've coded in.
- JonChesterfield 3y agoLexical scope, first class functions, native coroutines, compiler available at runtime. Trivially extensible. It's semantically really close to lisp. Yep, lua's one of my favourites. The front end syntax isn't what I'd like but whatever, I can still see the AST through it with a little effort.
- DonHopkins 3y agoObviously there are a LOT of languages you've never coded in.
- concordDance 3y agoYes, I've never coded in brainfuck. But of the languages people actually use its been the most painful.
- imtringued 3y agoI am not using luajit for various reasons but the problem with the regular Lua interpreter is that the lua ffi backport from luajit is not included by default and the third party ones are broken on ARM.
