I'm exhausted by single-process programming languages. I think it's totally not worth our time to care at all about this problem any more. We need to figure out how to build systems more broadly. We're stealing useful energy pretending like such a small subproblem still has actual distinction & interest.

There's a lot of different ways to make code. But at this point there's just so little evidence that languages engender interesting new capabilities. There's some flourishistic differences, but most code reads fairly the same, if you squint. Rust is by far one of the most interesting languages, and it's only interesting adds are... constraints. We need some new frontiers of possibility, not just constraint. Languages are not leading us to new potentials, these days.

Good points.

How about if we took a handful of the most advanced new (and even old) languages, and made them cohabit and have "kids"?

Something great might result from that.

In particular, deployment via terraform and friends feels incredibly like living in the days before linkers were discovered.
