@neauoire This last line is charming but naive
"Natural Selection: Languages and systems that are of sound design will persist, to be supplanted only by better ones.
Even as the clock ticks, better and better computer support for the creative spirit is evolving. Help is on the way. "
The "nature" sets the done of what is best. and inside capitalism what is best for capitalism isn't the best for humans
@dualhammers yeah, I'm not sure if better languages won out since that paper was written. Languages don't really seem to "die", at least not as much people back then seem to think they would. Cobol isstill used, fortran too, I'm not sure if Javascript is better than these 2. It seems like any other tech, the path of least resistence wins over anything else.
