It's so strange that we talk about languages being slow, and have done for years. Computer performance has increased so much in this time. https://hbfs.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/is-python-slow/ (shared on HN in 2009) discusses Python being slow. My underpowered Thinkpad has 20x the single-threaded performance! https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/73vs3766/AMD-Athlon-64-4000+-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-PRO-4650U Maybe *relative* performance of languages matters more?

Which programming languages are the easiest/hardest to google? Go (a common word) and Rust (also a computer game) can both be tricky. Yet I've not seen 'rubylang' used to help Ruby searches. Perhaps a novel word (Kotlin) or a misspelling (Perl) is a better choice for new languages?

Modern computer systems are hard to bootstrap. If you had to rebuild computing from older tech (say 20/30/40 years old), which would you prefer?
