&quot;I actually laughed out loud. Well played.&quot;<p>It&#x27;s a new meme of mine. Glad you had fun with it. :)<p>&quot;Im waiting for that revolutionary new general purpose language that goes mainstream. I think it will be a language that scales much better and easier to hundreds of cores. Maybe it will be a functional language.&quot;<p>I am too. I think Rust is a nice <i>alternative</i> to C++ for doing that sort of thing. Far as next step, I&#x27;m waiting too. I encourage you to check out Julia because it seems to have some of those traits. It&#x27;s a LISP on the inside with a productive, imperative skin on the outside. Lots of potential for such a hybrid.<p>Also, check out ParaSail if you&#x27;re interested in languages designed for easy parallelism. It&#x27;s an Ada superset with some interesting design decisions. Might be worth factoring into the next, ideal language. ;)
