Yes, DTrace files also end with ".d"...
Those are good hypotheses, not sure you can say OSS usage is a good _indicator_ yet, especially since I wouldn't say Go has taken off.
I think it has, it might taper off early and be displaced by Swift, but it seems healthy. Rust appears to have hit an early plateu.
You seem to have gotten that quote from the README for the OSS project, but we were talking about the stack at Docker, the company.
I have no idea. They appear to have both Go and Python projects on Github, and some other languages.
I think D has a real complexity problem, so anything we can do to make it simpler _while still maintaining its power_ would be welcomed.
That's a good starting point! :)
You think there were more hours billed by programmers for javascript in 2015 than any one of Java, C, C#, or C++? I doubt it.
Yes, I think Java and JavaScript are on top.
On the contrary, I suspect that we've passed "Peak JS", with WebAsm about to cripple it.
How come? I would expect new programmers to be focused on JavaScript as they grew up with the less dysfunctional implementation.
I don't think we are anywhere near "peak js". WebWorkers are coming now, and they change the game by providing isolated threads with fast message passing of heaps/arrays. Which I think is pretty good.
