I really don't understand the need to squeeze as much functionality as possible out of as few lines as possible, that the code makes no sense no read. How am I supposed to parse the cryptic beginning example which shows the 2048 game being played? It looks like a ton of stuff has just been hidden way, which is fine for the example but likely all falls apart when you try to add something new to the game.
- justusw 10y agoI don't think the code in the 2048 example is complete, it is just some GUI boilerplate. I would love to see the rest of this.
- rahulmutt 10y agoYou can, see https://github.com/rahulmutt/eta-2048 https://github.com/rahulmutt/eta-2048. The whole point of that example was to demonstrate that you can build nontrivial things with Eta right now. Just have to deal with Java FFI boilerplate which requires some patience without any IDE support.
- moomin 10y agoI'd argue the exact opposite: what we don't need right now is yet another language that most differs from its peers by aesthetics and engineering. If a language doesn't offer you something conceptually new, it might have been better offered as a library.
