      There are two interesting semantics-preserving translations of programming languages: introducing a common runtime which all languages can target, as LLVM/WebAssembly and JVM/.NET attempt in different ways; and introducing a universal syntax to wrap around all languages.

      By applying both transformations, you reduce each language to semantic constructs, libraries, and performance characteristics, so you can more objectively compare languages.

      The big differences are in higher order types (dynamic types vs C++ templates vs Haskell quantifiers and typeclasses vs ML modules vs Java/C# generics), memory management and safety (manual vs garbage-collected vs compiler-assisted), and evaluation (lazy vs eager).

          I would argue that another major difference lies in how each language suggests ‘depth’ of modularization. Higher level languages like Python and JS push a flat structure of modules while C++/Java push a deep hierarchy. This probably evolves most from the object model.

          Isn't what assembly does already? It is ultimately the decider on how your abstractions ultimately perform.

          Can you tell us what you found out doing this? Do non-managed languages come out as more efficient?

          Kindly see your inbox sir. South asians are having hard time getting SEA servers these days. How long we have to cry, beg and wish for the servers we deserve?
