Why aren’t design patterns added to the languages constructs?
Recently I was talking with a colleague who mentioned that his company was working on adding the MVC design pattern as a PHP extension.
Whats the difference between an interpreted language and one compiled to a VM? [duplicate]
This question already has answers here: Interpreted vs Compiled: A useful distinction? (7 answers) Closed 10 years ago. It occurs to me that there’s not a heck of a lot of difference between $>python module.py And: $>javac module.java $>java module.class The former compiles to an intermediate language (python bytecode) and executes the program.

Language Design: Are languages like Python and CoffeeScript really more comprehensible?
The “Verbally Readable !== Quicker Comprehension” argument on http://ryanflorence.com/2011/case-against-coffeescript/ is really potent and interesting. I and I’m sure others would be very interested in evidence arguing against this. There’s clear evidence for this and I believe it. People naturally think in images, not words, so we should be designing languages that aren’t similar to human language like English, French, whatever.
