Why? And where does the language end and the library begin?
- justincormack 13y agoWell there are issues of where you do the computation and what can be done in parallel. A language could help by having well defined semantics that makes this easier. Embedding one language in another (as with SQL) is a pain as a programmer. Although no solutions that caught on emerged here despite some promising research.
- wicknicks 13y agoExactly! Some of the research is very new though, and still needs more work. The timing is just about right to get some new languages/ideas flowing (given there being lots of talk about Java taking the back seat, and no other language really taking up the lead).
