Have you found such a language? I've looked hard, and I'm still looking.
In my opinion, no existing language satisfies these two simultaneously:
> - Let a large group of devs of varying skills produce a high quality code base with the least amount of overhead/rules/babysitting
> - Performance is high enough to meet a point of diminishing returns given the problem at hand
- m_mueller 10y agoI keep hearing about Rust when this particular wishlist comes up. So far I didn't have the time to try it, but from your post I'm guessing you did. So in what way did it break for you?
- civility 10y ago> So in what way did [Rust] break for you? For me personally, a few things seem broken, but there are work-arounds. Some things are very confusing for me, and I might get past those. However, I work with some really smart people (Masters and PhDs in math, physics, engineering), and very few of them have patience for programming language complexity. They can mostly get by with a subset of C++, but it's not optimal. Rust is just not simple enough, and the "overhead/rules/babysitting" would be pretty hefty. I wish that was not the case.
- pjmlp 10y agoI think Modula-3 could have been such a language, but sadly it was a victim of DEC/Compaq acquisition.
