| > Which languages are async-everything? Op referred to async programming. I'm unaware of any popular programming language that does not support async programming. > I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it, much less as something that every other language has. All languages can play the "no true scotsman" game and claim they are the only one within a myriad of alternative languages. Yet, they all support async programming, either conventional forms or as a nuanced implementation, either through modules or built into the language with the right to reserved keywords and all. > I think our propensity to miss the light of other languages/ecosystems is a reminder of how little breadth of experience we actually have across the field. Actually, people who lack experience and understanding tend to grab hold to their only tool of the trade and give it an inflated value just because it happens to be the only thing they do, and thus they see their personal worth as tied to the perceived worth of their tool. Consequently we end up with these futile discussions on how language X or Y is the bestest, most unique technology that nothing even comes close to match. But yet async programming is supported by all popular programming languages, isn't it? |
