Looking at Modula-3 wikipedia page, no thanks. (If it's case-sensitive, I don't want to switch to uppercase everytime I use the language keywords. If it's not case-sensitive, don't even get me started.) I had enough of that for a lifetime through FORTRAN, COBOL, SQL, BASIC, ASSEMBLY, etc.
PreScheme sounds like an interesting idea.
- nickpsecurity 9y agoDo you have anything to say about it's feature set instead of just syntactic preference? As in, it's tradeoff in balancing complexity by what set of features?
- fizixer 9y agoLooking at it very briefly, its feature set is probably small enough to keep the language simple yet useful. To be clear, I'm not a Rust guy, or even C++, Go, D. On top of that, I'm a 2PL advocate (two programming languages). I think a combination of a readable high-level language like Python or Scheme, and a fast systems language like C, can carry out feats that no single programming language can as far as I know. (I don't consider keeping two or three programming language in your head while doing productive work a big deal, especially when learning multiple language is considered a beneficial thing).
- nickpsecurity 9y agoI'm with you on the 2PL right tool for the job idea. It's what I did. :)
