Curious how you decided what goes where, I'd hardly consider SQL a "Toy Lang" as opposed to a "System Lang"

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

That it's an interpreted language rather than a compiled one. Bytecode and interpreted langs get the Toy Lang treatment. At least SQL has floating points.

So, it's an almost useless dimension with misleading names? Yeah, it's a good "political compass".

[-] expr@programming.dev 11 points 4 days ago

That's... a really dumb definition. And why is C# right in the middle but Java's towards obsolete and toy lang? They both compile to byte code and are overall extremely similar.

Javascript is compiled, just in time.

Nearly my entire company's infrastructure is written in Python and Go so I take offense (even if I would prefer to write anything else other than Python, mostly because I like proper typing )

What's the difference between interpreted and compiled?
