  • I think that many a time people begin a project coding in a far-far-far too-low level programming-language: they’re solving the wrong problem!

    Build your prototype in a high level language, get the model/architecture correct … and THEN begin replacing the slow bits with faster languages…

    To me that seems right.

    Haskell to begin-with, & when it solves ALL of the problem, correctly … THEN you begin converting stuff to Crab-lang/Rust…

    When you’re still bashing 'round, trying to discover the form of the underlying problems in your problem … that’s the wrong time to be doing low-level stuff, to my eyes…
