Summary
Josh welcomes back Andrew Nesbitt to discuss some recent blog posts he wrote about the challenges of new ecosystems as well as challenges of no ecosystems like C. There aren't very many people who look at multiple ecosystems in the way Andrew does. He has thoughts on why it's so hard to create a new ecosystem as well as some of the reasons we don't see a C language ecosystem. Andrew has a ton of interesting ideas and insight for us about both existing, new, and nonexistent ecosystems.
