erlang.
Functional. Cross-platform (it has it's own vm, of course), instant deployment and hot rollback (via a/b images), etc.
Your puzzle-as-description was very cleverly written and an enjoyable exercise! Bravo!
- danielvf 9y agoCool guess! But that's still not it! (Though I have used this language's hot reloading features to win a faux stock market trading war, by being able to swap in newly written market making strategies on the fly) Here’s a hint - its been around since before flip phones, and has been a top ten language on stack overflow since the site was started.
- quickthrower2 9y agoOk top 10 languages 2017 for SO are: JavaScript SQL Java C# Python PHP C++ C TypeScript Ruby The data reload in place has thrown me. I am not sure any of the above do this. Maybe I am wrong though.
- lucozade 9y agoHN doesn't dislike Erlang. You only see unequivocal detestation for PHP and VB. My guess would be PHP although there's a reasonable argument that most of the Fortune 500 runs on VB.
