@michael@toot.mynameismwd.org @jarkman@chaos.social @jonathanhogg@mastodon.social (IMO) we can't have more DSLs because everything useful is now plumbed together from a series of heterogenous parts and we've somehow decided they can only interoperate at the (barbaric) C ABI level, or the (absurdly inefficient) web level. So, we rely on general purpose languages using specialised libraries, instead of the other way around. I think fixing this boundary/contract problem would fix a lot in s/w engineering.

  • @tobyjaffey@mastodon.me.uk gRPC is pretty efficient, although Erlang is a better abstraction. @michael@toot.mynameismwd.org @jarkman@chaos.social @jonathanhogg@mastodon.social
