I can see why someone who stumbles on Skip would classify it as "systems-ish": General-purpose statically-typed language that compiles to native code with an emphasis on being fast with predictable performance. Go is thought of as a systems language, and it is a garbage-collected language meant for writing servers!
How would you describe when to use Skip? It looks really interesting.
- the_duke 8y agoI don't know anyone who considers Go a systems language. That wording was also removed from the Go website a long time ago. The GC and the heavy weight runtime make it unsuitable in this space. Skip seems very similar to Swift and Java, with inspiration from Rust wrt mutability.
