   I can't directly favorite or boost https://snac.tesio.it/giacomo/p/1792074929.102921 by @giacomo for some strange reason, but it's great. My only quibble is where to put Common Lisp or Racket. Even though I love Lisp, both seem quite complex. Are they really simpler than Go? Anyways, here's the post:

   I strongly encourage you to use anything but a language that can be compiled by different totally independent compilers/interpreters.

   My favourite are #Oberon and #C.

   #Myrddin and #Hare are potential candidates (despite having one single implementation) because of their current simplicity.

   Some might even argue for #Lua, a #Lisp (a #Scheme?) or, god forbid, a #BASIC.

   Any language complex enough that it can only be compiled by one or two corporate-backed compilers are going to backfire on your users in the long (or even short) run.

   #Rust is way too complex.

   So is #Python. And #Zig (that still requires #LLVM).

   #Go is from #Google, so I avoid anything written in it.

   #google #go #llvm #zig #python #rust
