Erlang is written in a ton of quite readable C and assembly. If you like delving into the internals of advanced software, it's well worth a read. Take the HiPe compiler for example: https://github.com/erlang/otp&#x

So you save some space on top level keys which are stored once in the header...but you waste space by having to flatten data structures into a table to start with, with key values being repeated over lines, the more deeply nested, the worse

What do you think about 4GLs - do you think they still hold any promise and/or represent a solution to today's language woes?

The entire thing reeks of self-congratulation on how smart he is for not engaging in "premature-optimization" for using a embedded database engine...as the database engine embedded in an single-user application. You say it is usef

I know about Erlang and what it can do, and I maintain Go is the only mainstream, non-functional language that does abstraction of event based/threaded programming well, or at all. I'm not even sure Rust does...the best I can find

I have no idea. Is the language spec fully implemented by a robust and stable compiler/runtime? If so, I'll use it today!

No, I think they are common assumptions.
