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.

- MisterTea 8y agoThe 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).
- 3rdAccount 8y agoIsn'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.
- ori_b 8y ago(Author here) I've been thinking of renaming it. Maybe next release.
