> Are you saying we should only code everything in C and C++ and Bash with as few dependencies as possible? Every so often I encounter a package with very few (or no external) dependencies that just works, and it's wonderful. There is something to be said for going with a mature, stable, non-bleeding-edge platform and minimizing dependencies. Regarding C/C++, they tend to facilitate memory errors, while memory-safe language systems (Ada, Java, Javascript, Rust, ...) all seem to come with various down sides.
