Why can't the default be to write extensions in C/C++/Rust/zig/jai or any compiled language with which one can produce a .dll or.so?
Why can't application developers abandon this strange habit of adding a slow "scripting" language?
Why not provide a versioned C API and be done with it?
A compiled language would allow us to use the best debugger and compiler on our systems and performance would be in the extension writer's hands and would eliminate the frustrating need to learn yet another scripting language.
