Myrddin Compiler

• sephoric 8y ago
  My favorite features of Myrddin, quoted from its home page[1]: > It features strong type checking, generics, type inference, closures, and traits. It aims to fit into a similar niche as C, but with fewer bullets in your feet. > Myrddin does not aim to explore the forefront of type theory or compiler technology. It does not focus on guaranteeing perfect safety. It is satisfied to be a practical, small language. Maybe one day he'll shorten it to Myr like Nimrod shortened to Nim? Would be easier to remember how to spell it. [1] https://myrlang.org/ https://myrlang.org/

    The humor on the site along with release art and naming is very 9front. That being said, there is also a current port to 9front, a modernized plan 9 fork(RFNOPUN).

    Isn't Myrddin another name for Merlin or something...maybe Latin? Myr is too much like Mir (Russian space station). Edit: Wikipedia search says it is Welsh for Merlin & Merlinus is Latin for it.

    (Author here) I've been thinking of renaming it. Maybe next release.

  Seems pretty well thought out...
