Just add scaling!
Ola Bini: I still haven’t found anyone who knows how you implement Scaling in a language, so I guess that LRM will never have it... Anyone who care to enlighten me, please send me a detailed email with an implementation of Scaling. I really feel the need to know how this thing works.
Algorithm to imporve the scalability of a language:
- Solve a small problem
- Now extend the problem
- Modify your solution to solve the extended problem
- If your extended solution is either too much work (t, $ ...) or incapable of solving the extended problem, you have a problem with scalability: Modify the language until it scales better
- Rinse and repeat
(Asking people ho have been bitten by such supposed “scalability” bug, may help)
