All languages should be compiled

Death to interpreters.

I actually agree with you.

Don't tell anybody.

sure, call me when you can compile newLISP. all languages can be compiled, some are hard, some may result in a runtime bloat that is just isn't worth it.

but what about cgi

but what about writing simple scripts for routine tasks

but what about writing multiplatform code that anyone can run

cgi
Can be done just fine with compiled languages

but what about writing simple scripts for routine tasks
Write a simple script, then compile it.

but what about writing multiplatform code that anyone can run
Write portable code and give out the source code.

Because compiled code is always faster right?

That comparison is as valid as saying a bubblesort written in optimised Asm can beat a compiled quicksort for sufficiently small sizes.

That comparison is as valid as comparing a penis to a vagina on the basis of sexual gratification.

When your ear is itchy and you scratch it, which gets more sexual gratification? Ear or finger?

Except both penises and vaginas get sexual gratification, at the same time.

Assuming the penis doesn't belong to a programmer, that is.

i agree

this would increase adoption of javascript, which is unfortunately not happening as fast as the cs world needs it to. javascript is the only dynamic language whose designers were actually smart enough to create a jit compiler worth mention. being the fastest and most memory-efficient jitted language, this really should be no surprise to anyone.

i've always wanted to know why the javascript guy likes javascript

i've asked him infinitely many times but he never replies

it's like he doesn't really love his favorite language, i just want to know why he likes it so much, when even the people who use js entirely have their pet peeves about it

but he never replies to my posts

closures, callbacks, prototypes, and functional programming, and being insanely fast. webgl typed arrays. mozilla.

what's not to love?

mozilla.

Fake ``asynchronous'' callbacks
Wet-flannel OOP idiocy
``Functional'' programming (if it was intentional, why isn't function shorter?)
Fast in the same way you can actually polish a turd if you try hard enough (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorodango)
Other (more sane) languages have had typed arrays since at least the 70s

Disclaimers: Not quoting, just using quotes as bullet points. Also, I do actually write Javascript in day-to-day life.

callbacks are bad, closures is implicit in functional programming, the shootout begs to differ, what the hell is that, mozilla?

i think you must be joking after all

thanks anyway for replying, javascript guy

lambda isn't much shorter anyway.
Which is fun, because lisp comes with a nice set of quoting aliases! (._.)

Bubblesort and quicksort are "doing the exact thing" at some level too: they sort.

The two implementations are very different; they're comparing a very minimal stripped-down interpreter to a large mature system with many features, and I'm almost certain the compiled code ended up being longer than the interpreter's execution trace.

Exactly. which is why the argument stands. Not every compiled Lisp is necessarily faster than an interpreted one. Not sure why you keep beating around the bush on that one...

Which is why PPP, Ruby, Lua, Smalltalk, Erlang, v8, take the most fucking time just initializing variable to RAM to the somersault at the least 3 actions to say one fucking statement.

That article is biased since it only implement a LISP dialect, not the other shitty scripting languages, or Guile FTM.

>>1,2
I merit although, that some scripting/interpreting is still required for other mundane ``quickfix// applications. But obviously we agree for real programs, compiled should be the way to go. Dynamically loading Kernel modules are my prime example of why scripting is still awesome, and maybe for the quickhaxor that needs something done when something went terribly wrong.

All languages should be compiled to JavaScript and run in a Web browser's interpretor!j

good thing we got JS, because if something REALLY bad got in the browser instead, nacl would be everywhere by now

and nacl seems more interesting (and potentially insecure) than javashit

fortunately we didn't, and got something better: javascript

The entire network stack would benefit from a rewrite, not just your browsing scripts. But updating closed firmware is unfeasible, and replacing hardware is expensive.

But really, how difficult is to write a LLVM scripting engine?
