Shill for 'fringe' programming languages

For one.. forum.nim-lang.org/t/2332/1
really dodged that bullet.

second... transpiled to C

and third, it's not rust.

Nice to see these days. Let me guess, the people who showed up demanding a CoC suddenly vanished as soon as they were shut down.

I don't know these class of languages, but I'm amazed when I see example code in APL, A, J, and K. I'd have to look up the differences, but their code examples often seem like random noise to me.

It runs most of the internet except garbage social media sites.

any resources on writing non-shit javascript? the crockford book ? or is that still in the trash category?

I'm keeping my eye on the Julia language being developed at MIT julialang.org. It seems like a very ambitious project:

Why? I mean, they have their reasons, maybe good reasons too, but I can't see why you would need a built-in package manager instead of downloading a library/module and put it in a known directory, like you do for C
Can someone tell me the advantages of a built-in package manager? Julia isn't the first language doing it

le brainfuck XD

If a project I want to install has ten dependencies then I suppose I could download all those ten dependencies and put them in their directories, but if I can just run "pkgman deps-install" and have it all done for me with the correct versions and origins guaranteed and updates of dependencies executed by another single command that's quite a bit nicer.

Fortress was an old chimera hybrid of Fortran fuck all of you Fortran's fun as hell to mess around in and Haskell, but it was screwed over via the office politics clusterfuck between Sun, Oracle, and DARPA. The majority of development stopped in 2012, 5 years ago.

Holy shit, this language is fucking impressive
- Spaces only, no tabs
- No case fall-through
- Operator overloading without class garbage
- Extensive metaprogramming
