The main problem of academic languages is that they improve one or two aspects and neglect the rest. Real world languages must improve one or two aspects without hurting the rest too bad.
The rest means for example: debugging, IDE, multi-platform, standard library, performance, deployment
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoUnless your language research focuses on debugging, IDE, standard library; I don't bother with multi-platform, performance, and deployment, but I know others that do. Really, we are just single people, we are not out to create the NBL, we are out to push things forward and create well-thought-out ideas that could be included in the next NBL, and we realize that most of our ideas will fail to make it big time. But perhaps some of them will survive and have an impact (so is the depressing life of an academic programming language design researcher).
