Rust has stressed ergonomics of late, yet I sometimes struggle to read Rust code. Obviously, there is value in elegant code, but my question is, would anybody find value in an extremely simple language that could compete with the likes of c/c++? Does something like this exist?
- kevin_thibedeau 9y agoNim. It lets you get stuff done without having to drink the provably correct kool-aid.
- _pmf_ 9y agoGC, though, an a much, much smaller community.
- gavanwoolery 9y agogoogling "GC language" predictably comes up with mostly links to garbage collection. Do you have a link to this language?
- Varriount 9y agoThere's the Nim website[0] as well as the document describing the (soft) real-time GC that Nim comes with[1]. [0] https://nim-lang.org https://nim-lang.org [1] https://nim-lang.org/docs/gc.html https://nim-lang.org/docs/gc.html
- gavanwoolery 9y agooops, I was confused - thought the comment was talking about a language named GC, rather than the fact that Nim has GC.
- dom96 9y agoFor most applications a GC is fine. In addition, Nim's GC can handle soft real-time programs like games pretty well.
