Sure, but the language itself has a lot to do with why library writers choose to target that language.
- vintagedave 11mo agoI fully agree. Most language users aren't library writers, they're library consumers. So it is what libraries exist that drives popularity -- with, and you are right, that language needing to be one that brings the library writers too in order for that to happen. Multiple levels!
