It may be my own bubble, but it feels like Rust left that niche around 2019? I would've put Clojure on the list around 2010. Elixir feels like a right answer today. Maybe Zig, too?

That's the reasoned take, and yet I have strong and distinct memories of Node being sold on the basis of shared code as early as 2011. Much of the interest (and investment) in Meteor was fueled by its promise of "isomorphic JavaSc

Yes, that was my intent. If we're going to celebrate this choice, then we should also give the Director her due respect. :)

Well, it would be uniquely challenging for the director to do his duty or to blind himself, being that she's a woman. And, as mentioned in the article's subtitle and second sentence, the first woman to direct the Goddard Space Fli
