> You are supposed to do as much programming as you can in the high level language, and only drop into the low level language as needed. I think that's a neat idea, but in the reverse: do as much as you can in the lower level language, and only go up to the high level language when the convenience is worth the cost. Roc allows this: every program has a platform written in a low-level language, and then the Roc program uses the API that the platform exposes. https://www.roc-lang.org/ https://www.roc-lang.org/ Then how you want to balance high vs low is of course up to you :^)
