"It is usually a "colossal error" to write your own in-house closed-source/proprietary language"
I'm curious if anybody on this thread who has written more than three or four compilers/parsers would agree with you.
Depending on the task, the only solution to some problems is to write a custom/proprietary language (whether it's closed source, of course, is up to the company).

- slantyyz 11y ago>> Is a bug tracker one of those problems? But "bug tracker" is not the problem that was being solved. The problem was taking a big pile of legacy code and translating it to more than one platform vs rewriting the entire app from scratch in a new language that was cross platform. It just happened that the legacy code was for a bug tracker, but it could have been for anything.
