Observant :)

Polyglot projects have been sort of a thing lately, because micro services made them doable I guess; but I feel the combination of a capable and portable host language and a scripting language implemented in that language captures the best of both worlds while adding nice super powers on top.



You mean rebranding distributed computing and OS IPC for newer generations?


It's the same old ideas, over and over again.

But it's not a circle, it's a spiral; we learn something new every time.


Sometimes, and suddenly modular monoliths become a thing, as the microservices generation learns why we weren't doing SUN RPC, TOOL, DCOM and CORBA for every little piece of application functionality.


We could definitely do a better job of learning from those who came before, it would save a lot of time and effort.

Evolution is messy, every combination has to be tried, every minor detail thoroughly investigated from all angles.
