Leaving aside the evolution of language designs: we's gone through several "revolutions" since that time. object oriented, etc etc. say all you like about the subtle power of LISP. the fact that there's so much Python code out there doing stuff, and people can bend it to their own needs, says a lot for modern progress.
- tourmalinetaco 2y agoI wouldn’t say we’ve entirely progressed, especially in regards to efficiency (which is paramount in older hardware). Python and similar easier to learn languages are fun and all but they’re not proper for efficient applications, however because it’s easy to work on, which means less human hours are spent on production, it’s shoved out the door because all we care about today is being the “first to market” and not the “best to market”.
