Probably not underrated but not very well known. I’d say Julia as it easily one of the best script languages.
But I’ve also wondered why D is not more widely used as it is a much nicer version of C++ and integrates fairly well with it.
Also a bit odd that OCaml and SML isn’t more widely used
- dnautics 9y agoI wouldn't use Julia for scripts because of its overhead. I wrote a udp packet flinger for work to test packet throughput in about 10 lines server, 10 lines client (yay!) But when I wanted to deploy to Amazon, the images took about an hour to build. Generally speaking applicatio startup time in Julia is poor (maybe because of the number of symbols in Base?), I only recommend using it for its original purpose - mathematical computation - which, by the way, it's insanely good at and an absolute joy to code in.
