gollark: Really? I've seen a bunch of random Linux programs written in C.
gollark: I agree that writing everything in intensely horrific JS is bad. I just don't think that much application software which is currently written in C would become worse if written in something safer and higher level.
gollark: I'm quite confident that the majority of user-facing ~~ones~~ computer systems have most of the development effort invested in random applications software which doesn't need to be hyperoptimized.
gollark: The top end grows, but most applications actually aren't that.
gollark: Computers are ridiculously powerful and more than capable of running most general purpose things anyone cares about very fast, if those things are sanely implemented. We know this because they can continue sort of usably working despite JS and such.
