But how would POSIX shell be available? Wouldn’t it be compiled from C?

Re: TCO Does the language give any guarantee that TCO was applied? In other words can it give you an error that the recursion is not of tail call form? Because I imagine a probability of writing a recursion and relying on it being TCO-optim

Long time ago I was obsessed with Prolog. I found that if you bend it enough you could implement imperative code (a-la JavaScript) evaluation, still being valid Prolog: https://github.com/xonixx/prolog-experiments/

My take on this is that it's not always the best idea to abstract-out SQL. You see, the SQL itself is too valuable abstraction, and also a very "wide" one. Any attempt to hide it behind another abstraction layer will face the

Right, this is not the problem par se. To me this is a rather philosophical question. Related to the motivation behind the project. If someone has some particular domain problem to which they need to introduce the new programming language,

It's funny to watch how often new programming languages resemble visually (and conceptually) the language they are written in. You can put it the other way: just look at a syntax sample and try to guess the implementation language. I c

True. Probably, only AWK is an exception.

For me the most relevant selling point of GraalVM is beeing able to compile to native self-contained executable. But on the other hand, Golang delivers on this aspect much better (or at least much faster).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to me passing the access token in the GET URL is not a good security practice. This increases the probability of unintentionally exposing the token. The URLs can be logged by proxy servers, application logs

This reminded me the idea of compilers bootstrapping ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35714194 ). That is, now you can code in SectorC some slightly more advanced version of C capable of compiling TCC ( https:/&#x2

This sounds reasonable. When the GoAWK creator tried to add Unicode support through UTF-8 he discovered that this had drastic performance implications (rendering some algorithms to be O(N^2) instead of O(N)), if done naive https:/&#x2

Btw, the GNU awk is also considerably faster (due to bytecode) than awk bundled with BSD & Mac (usually, "one true awk").

When at some point I decided to learn AWK better, I was surprised to find that it had some very Perl-ish features, like `print` is the same as `print $0` or `if(/abc/){}` as shorthand for `if($0 ~ /abc/){}`, etc. Later I

Since AWK is DSL for text processing it can be (and usually is) much more elegant and efficient for (surprise!) text processing tasks, than general purpose languages like Python. Not long ago I was really fascinated by this example I came a

I would kindly disagree here. I myself been dedidacted Python lover in past for many years now came to a conclusion that what can be scripted with AWK, should be scripted in AWK (over Python, Ruby, Perl, etc.). I'm not saying that

There is Awk - fascinating mini-language almost unchanged for decades. Therefore very portable. You can learn it once and be sure you know it all.
