I love how some programming languages allow you to express your intent on a high level, while others put almost no boundaries between you and the machine. But looking at the architecture of large-scale systems, I feel the choice of language almost doesn’t matter at all

There's always the productivity argument to be made I guess... Came across darklang recently. They try to skip a bunch of steps in the development -> deployment process by embedding more into the language. Penny for your thoughts? darklang.com/
