This is misleading as all Hell! You have three totally different types of businesses here!

Only the other six are truly ***AI*** businesses!

@slava @andnull @neauoire the way all of these successor languages blow complexity on metaprogramming features trying to get back to dynamic language expressivity, i wonder if the "systems language" should just be an EDSL you piece bits of together inside of a real programming language. what if C but the preprocessor is your smalltalk environment
