I used Chez Scheme for many years and loved its lightning fast compile times. For example, I'm not aware of any other full-scale compiler that can compile itself as fast as Chez can.
- PeCaN 10y agoOberonSystem can build the whole compiler, OS, and applications in around 3 seconds.
- yinwang0 10y agoThat's a myth. Show the evidence please.
- jnbiche 10y ago>OberonSystem can build the whole compiler, OS, and applications in around 3 seconds. I'm not usually given to short, low-content comments here on HN, but: wow!
- iswim 10y agoStaying on the low-content theme . . . that's just how awesome Wirth et al are.
- NotRustAgain 10y agoFast compile times are cool, but I've never heard anyone say they liked programming in a language that Wirth created. The possible exception is Delphi as a Pascal derivative, but that has very little to do with wanting to program in Pascal.
- PeCaN 10y agoPascal was the language of choice for Windows development for quite some time even before Delphi. Also, for what it's worth, Ada has quite a few Wirthisms and I personally quite enjoy it. But it technically isn't a Wirth language.
- pjmlp 10y agoI look forward to the day someone takes the effort of writing a bare metal runtime for Go and producing something like "Goberon", given the influence.
- yinwang0 10y agoWhy? Go is a terrible language with a terrible community.
- goldbrick 10y agoThis is pretty close: https://github.com/deferpanic/gorump https://github.com/deferpanic/gorump
- pjmlp 10y agoA step on the right direction, but I was thinking more about Oberon System 3 with its Gadgets UI framework.
- SixSigma 10y agoI think we got plan9 down to about 45 seconds, all os and userspace
