I wonder, wouldn't it be possible to generalize the work that was done for JS with V8 to a variety of languages, to target something like LLVM? Can't most interpreted language be targeted to a common ground?
Anyhow, I've generally avoided a lot of languages. For now my choices have boiled down to C++ and python, and I've even used brython instead of client side JS. I either don't touch other languages, or just thread very carefully.
My cynicism is usually yelling out to nuke all existing things, including HTML and JS, to favor something new, clean, less bloated, so that it can possibly run well on smartphones. I just wish public research and engineering entities like DARPA could come up with something better. I think C and by extent C++ are already that, but crowds of nerds will keep moaning about out of bound arrays.
HTML freed the web from the grasp of greedy capitalists, but now it has done its job and a lot of things should be put away. Aren't there tools to optimize HTML rendering for speed?
