You're not the only one. In college I took a compilers course and we used the dragon book, to me it sucked the joy out of the magical concept of making a compiler. Some years later…

Do you have any links to support this? Because the commonality of all arguments _against_ has been that they make water and power crazy expensive for everyone that has to live clos…

This is to laughably misguided that it leans toward malicious. I mean, you're talking about Elon, the Doge guy, the one who organized mass hoovering of citizens data from whatever …

Have you tried Nim? Strong and static typed, versatile, compiles down to native code vía C, interops with C trivially, has macros and stuff to twist your brain if you're into that,…
