The choice of programming language for your Next Big Project can be difficult. Even worse, it can seem easy… when it is not. On the one hand, strictly speaking, you can write any program in any of Turing-complete languages. On the other hand, that doesn’t mean it will be easy.

Quote:
we MUST NOT care about compiler internals beyond our task definition (which is based on (a) humans, and (b) hardware, that’s it).
Another Quote:
My problem with introducing a ‘model of the compiler’ into the picture, is that it can be used to justify pretty much anything without any relation to real-world requirements.
