Sorry, but nine-hundred and ninety-nine times out of a thousand, it's a complete and total waste of resources to write a proprietary language or runtime enviroment to solve a non-core business problem.
- tptacek 11y agoFirst: they didn't write a runtime. They used .NET/Mono as their runtime. Second, you wrote your comment in a text box rendered by an application notorious for being written in a custom language (in fact, it seems like arc:lisp::wasabi:.net). Third, do you have evidence to support "nine hundred ninety-nine times out of a thousand", or is that hyperbole? Have you worked on projects where people used custom languages? Your argument would be much more interesting if we could read more about your experience with it.
