   No, they are not. If you want to get into some industries you have to have track record of decades of backwards compatibility. Those two languages don't have that.

    Maybe it's time to change websites you visit? If website is actively trying to prevent me from reading it I just don't do that. If you are a publisher and think that you need AMP than it only means that your website sucks big time

    So which one (from those audited) do you recommend? It's using fairly well known library (VTE), it's open source so it's not that easy to sneak something in. Situations when your terminal emulator (it's not a program fac

    Of course it depends on your definition of "critical". There was AWS outage ~2 months ago and banking systems around the world worked pretty well, same with military, big factories didn't stop because of this outage, planes w

    Nothing critical (banks, military, factories) runs on NodeJS/JavaScript/AWS so probably nothing. Do you think a lot about some old BASIC Accounting Software? There are probably only two languages which might face similar problem
