He just needs to get LAID.

"endless crossposting", heh? Let's see:

Do you see any "wack" allusions to smoking marijuana here, you
lying bitch? If I cross-post something, nobody puts a gun to
your head making you cross-post. If some egos are bigger than
their owners, it's their problem.

To others: my post may have been funny, but I meant it literally
as well. Various languages do need to develop one LAID, write LAIDs
for external libraries instead wrapping them in a specific language,
and then auto-generate foreign-function interface code automatically.
This is really about data-driven programming and higher productivity.
My original message follows for your refererence:

(By the way is it "static typist" or "static typer" ?)
Lispers need to cooperate with others on libraries. Maybe a Consortium of
Underdog Dynamically-Typed Languages needs to be started. Underdog
languages are more interested in libraries and cooperation.
For each library, a language-agnostic interface description (in
LAID language, of course) should be generated by porters, so that
later FFIs could be produced for each language automatically. This
is the opposite (and complementary to) SWIG: SWIG auto-generates dumb
interface information and needs a lot of human post-work for each
specific language.
"Are you guys having trouble with that GTK lib? - No, we got LAID!"

Yep, and some pretty clear evidence of misogyny, too.
