Programming time > hardware expense

All future popular languages will be as or more high level than Python.

This is why languages like Java where you can have thousands of lines of code autogenerated by software such as IBM's rational software development suite are going to take over.
Why would a scripting languages designed for newbies become an ENTERPRISE standard? Because XKCD told you it would?

I used Python as a comparison in terms of abstraction. Actually most Python code out there is pretty good. Despite being easy to learn, Python is avoided by most skiddies who stick with PHP, JS, Java, Obj-C, and other useless shit. Python will never be ENTERPRISE QUALITY because no actual corporations back it, unlike Java and C#. Managers choose programming tools because they read an ad and then proceed to hire programmers specific to the tools they were conned into using.

Google is not a corporation who backs Python even though they hired Guido because he is the lead developer of Python?

Google doesn't actually use Python, they just say they do so that their competitors do stupid shit to and chase false goals. PageRank is actually implemented as a javascript addon to Chrome these days.

Youtube is written in Python, that's why it's so buggy and slow.

It even says "Don't bump" rather than "sage", so there's no room for misunderstanding what sage does.

Programmer time > time spent on bytefuck languages like C.

just c
I wanted to include the machine-level limit. Low value runs were coming in at 9 nanos but I got a segment fault at higher numbers and reminded myself why I code in haskell.

What about Rust?
It has zero-cost abstraction.

zero-cost abstraction

kek

Name: Anonymous 2015-01-25 7:25

the only zero-cost abstraction is text preprocessing macros

Name: Anonymous 2015-01-25 7:59

>>24
except they're shitter than AST-based macros.

Name: Anonymous 2015-01-25 9:20

>>25
Except that AST-based macros are just as zero-cost (at runtime) as text "macros" (I wouldn't even call that shit this venerable word).

Name: Anonymous 2015-01-25 9:35

>>26
Yes. The only reason text processing macros are allowed to be called macros is because of emacs.

Name: Anonymous 2015-01-25 9:41

>>26
Any macro which is interpreted at runtime incurs abstraction cost(execution time), there are no exceptions.

Name: Anonymous 2015-01-25 9:46

>>28
If you've still working with an AST at runtime, runtime macros are the least of your performance concerns.

I can think of an exception.

Meanwhile software is getting slower and bigger JUST TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING IT DID TEN YEARS AGO.

Fuck these entitled selfish programmers who think their resources are more valuable than that of their users. They're often greedy overpaid pigs too.

Enlightenment is when you realize high level scripting languages are ideal for 90% of programming tasks in the wild. When and only when it becomes slow do you rewrite small sections in C. Sepples is unnecessary because the idea of sepples is to be used in the whole program.

No. My web browser, Firefox, is getting bigger, it's doing more things and it's not getting slower. I'd give you some hard stats to compare the two but I never thought of getting stats of my Firefox usage ten years ago.

It's most certainly slower than netscape.

Don't change these.
