The existence of proprietary paid programming languages is weird as heck. Why would someone pay to use a language with no libraries and tooling support?

@csepp yeah that only makes sense to me when providing tooling for a standardized language, allegro cl for common lisp comes to mind
@csepp one case that comes to mind is that sometimes people choose these because they need to in order to meet a regulatory requirement, like for safety critical systems where you need a certified tool chain
@ndpi I would understand that for a standardized language, like C. There are several proprietary C compilers, but you don't need them to develop a C library. Compare that to something like 8th, which has one implementation. I guess it does have a free version, but even that is a hard sell.
