Is the effort to create, really the key matter? Typically most of the cost is incurred in other activities, such as maintenance of software after the initial release.
- loup-vaillant 15y agoNot always, but there is software that you write once, and then forget. For some shops (proprietary and custom software, mostly), the cost of the first try is what counts most. Nevertheless, I addressed that effort to create: geniuses write languages, and the rest of us use them. And with sufficiently good compilation languages, I bet we wouldn't need a genius to implement a worthwhile language.
