It gives me the impression we live all in our silos/caves and pretend reality is the same.
Working for an Enterprise Linux distributor that ships code for multiple architectures and support our code for a decade means Rust or Golang would fail the first round of questions: eg. Does it run on s390x?
Then I remember I am reading Hacker news and Macbooks are all x86_64 and software is rewritten from scratch every 2 months :-)
I bet somebody will bring up embedded/micro-controllers.
EDIT: grammar
- greenyoda 12y ago"Does it run on s390x?" Or IBM's i operating system[1] (formerly i5/OS, formerly OS/400), for that matter. The enterprise world is chock full of machines that run on this, but I'm not expecting a version of Rust or Go that runs on EBCDIC machines in the foreseeable future.
