Because those other languages are slower and more difficult to sandbox and embed.
Thanks for chiming in, Dan. :)
Hy @dan, thank you for your reply.
Okay so suppose I want to dive in, (probably not, but someone I know may want to) how do I start? I went to the eos website, and it currently only offers to join the mailing list. So is there some loony adopters kit? Somewhere I can get an eos iso from and and README files? Git maybe?
I dropped some hints in my notes above. The more I learn about the language, the more it seems perfect for the job.
Can you just recap that for me? What is it? Concurrency, maybe?
I'm just trying to figure out weather I should dwell into learning yet another programming language.
If you want to write code for EOS, yes.
