Help an old habbo-developer understand what changed

I wanted to go with D first, but I haven't really used that language before.

Don't. C++ is more widely used, has more libraries and way better support. In the end it gets compiled to the same native language depending on your CPU.

Golang is the future. Invest time in it and fly. Thank me later.

[Ephedrine]

Well, if you are a linux user there is/was not much choice... And I never said the language is good, just that I like the language.

There's also NodeJS, C/C++, Python, Pascal, Ruby, Perl, Go, CoffeeScript.

Also Mono can run .NET applications...

Don't forget that MongoDB is webscale, which also can run on Linux

[Hoshiko]

Is there even a language that can't run on Linux?

[The General]

Is there even a language that can't run on Linux?

Yeah, DOS.

[Hoshiko]

Yeah, DOS.

You sure about that?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOSBox

"DOSBox is an emulator program that emulates an IBM PC compatible computer running a DOS operating system. Many IBM PC compatible graphics and sound cards are also emulated. This means that original DOS programs (including PC games) are provided an environment in which they can run correctly, even though the modern computers have dropped support for that old environment."

I heard MongoDB isn't as scalable as /dev/null, is this true?
Also, golang is not the "future", whatever the "future" is
