Programming Language Diversity On the Rise
jfruh writes: "As GitHub becomes an increasingly common repository of project code, the metadata for projects saved there can tell us a lot about the state of the industry. In particular, a look at the programming languages used over the past half-decade shows an increasingly fragmented landscape, in which the overall share of most major languages is on a slight decline, while less-used languages are seeing modest growth in usage."
I keep telling you how stupid you're being, but you damn dirty apes don't actually want to solve any problem.
Inevitably you eventually come around to the natural and correct way of thinking, as proven by information theory and dimensional symbolics, but you do it by a circuitous route of problem space evolution instead of just THINKING and intelligently designing your approaches. Just look at the damn www!
It's not fucking hard. All programs must run as operation codes anyway. So you can have infinite languages without problem if you use a single Turing Complete Virtual Machine opcode as your intermediary format for all programs. Language compilers are breeching the hardware abstraction layer boundary and generating machine code from the intermediary formats. That's stupid. Hardware abstraction is the OS's job. You'll see. Everyone's going that way eventually. Then every program will be cross platform AND run native opcodes. You damn apes are so back-assward you have chips doing microcode in real time just to get the independence they need from program representations in order to advance (in a stifled fashion). You approach every fucking solution from the ass end -- That's the end your shit comes out, so GIGO covers the whole "solution" in excrement! Eg: Now you've even got VM OS's that don't even link programs into machine code at install time, so you waste fucking processing power -- They seemed like they would get Android right by doing endian conversion of primitives and resolution of symbol names at install time... but that was only PART of the solution, dumbasses.
Some levels of abstraction are STUPID to avoid. Abstract your languages' "compiled" output from the hardware representation and you can solve this problem and more: Give the OS control over optimizing programs for its environment and you can eliminate / discover lots of classes of bugs, like buffer overrun and stack smashing... but NoooOOO, for purely monkey-minded reasons you will have to learn shit the hard way.
