jsskodofon Ask HN: What language will you pick if you are to reinvent the data ecosystem?

I notice you didn't mention any specifics, other than typescript can manipulate jsons - so can every other language in the world (and jsons are _horrible_ for data anyway)

Definitely Julia. It's as easy as python, but if you put a bit of effort into it it can be as performant as C.

Plus, it might well be the most reusable language in existence today (meaning, where the properties of the language conspire to make the code you write reusable)

If Julia and typescript had a baby, that baby would ideally be a lot like Julia and nothing like typescript.
