#Canvas Cyberattack: When will we learn that technical monocultures suck?
Also, I remember when every university developed their own IT stuff in-house. It might have been janky or ugly, but it bloody well worked.

Can anyone recommend computer science papers about embedding an interpreter in a program written in a compiled language, like Emacs, web browsers, and the many things that embed Lua (Redis, Neovim, game engines, etc.)? Something like John Ousterhout’s 1998 paper on scripting languages as glue, but turned inside out, with the system programming language on the outside and the scripting language on the inside? I’m especially interested in thoughts about when it makes sense to do this and what characteristics the embedded language and its environment should have.
