CL can be used pretty much anywhere nowadays, even on the web with ECL wasm compilation.
replyAnywhere is where exactly? I've been thinking of where I could use it for like 10 minutes, and I couldn't come up with anything. Maybe a game engine or web services. It wouldn't make much sense for any kind of desktop software or command line utilities that are supposed to start really fast and have minimal runtime.
replyA binary has a startup time of like 20 milliseconds, the overwhelming majority of that is setting up page tables iirc. While that's a lot for a small cli utility called in a loop, it's really nothing for a desktop application.
replyI wish more desktop applications could hit even a 100ms startup time. These days it feels like 5 seconds or more is the norm.
