Actually, I think you're vastly underestimating the amount of resources for each Lang to work out well. The key point is semantics. As currently presented, light table is exploiting languages whose semantics can live on a js substrate
If anything, I think they're optimistically underestimating the engineering work for addin js backends for other languages (assuming that's how they plan to have es languages integrated in.) :-)
- ibdknox 15y agoThe backends can be written in any language that has support for TCP and JSON. :) Forcing people to write parsers/analyzers/etc in a language other than the host is bound for failure in the long run. That, however, is a subject for a later post.
- carterschonwald 15y agoOk, sounds like a sensible approach that prevents the editor from crashing! :-)
