Some general questiosn concerning interpreted lanaguages (and their JIT couterparts).
How far do you think an interpreted language can go? In otherwords, to what extent could the more traditional set of compiled c/c++ programs on a system be replaced by interpreted versions.
We all know that scripting is great for good many tasks, but could scripting make for a good word processor, for instance? How about a Desktop Enviornment or Window Manager?
To what extent can Ruby programs be utilized to displace traditional binary apps on my PC?
Comments...thoughts?
