Whe I read these posts, I got the idea that programming languages
were supposed to be a tool for the decker to create his/her own
programs. Therefore, a new Analyze program could be written in
CGI, and be written faster, even though it takes up more Mps.
However, when you buy a program, it'd be the modern-day
equivalent of buying a program from, say, Microsoft... optimized
to the max, almost. So, IMO, these languages are created in order
to allow the decker to be more creative, writing his/her own
programs rather than buying them from Microsoft. Am I wrong?
