    as a non programmer, but someone involved in fields intimately similar in fundamental manners.

    Honestly i get the feeling that languages are compilers are going to stop babying the user and go RISC-V at some point.

    Who needs complex structures and tons of rules when you can just use a turing machine instead!

        a language with all the good parts of something like assembly, and without all the bad parts of more modern, complex, and “safe” languages.

        One major rule for designed functionality is simplicity. The second you add another rule, the amount of things that can happen grows immensely. And that only scales worse the farther you go. The simpler something is, the easier it is to be intimately familiar with it. Which is what allows people to make proper use of something.

          Okay, I get it. It makes a lot more sense now. Honestly your first comment was word salad.

      You can certainty do this, yet it’s not time- (and hence cost-) efficient.

      As a non-surgeon I think doing a heart transplant without bypass shouldn’t be that hard if you’re fast enough. I mean you can cut arteries quickly with bolt cutters right?
