- firdak 8y agoWhat are your thoughts on Crystal [1], Nim [2] or even Go [3]? [1] https://crystal-lang.org https://crystal-lang.org [2] https://nim-lang.org https://nim-lang.org [3] https://golang.org https://golang.org
- devxpy 8y agoI took a quick look at them and this is just first impressions, so bear with me? They still look kinda low level to me. Yes, they provide a lot of high-level constructs and data types like python -- But what they fail to do (IMO) is a consistent abstraction. For example, all of these languages have a concept of pointers. All of them have a distinction between different integers (int32, int64 etc..) I had similar feelings when I used dart or even java. They're high level, but not quite! I don't mean to thrash on these languages in any way. I think they have some real value for programmers. It's just that I've never seen a language just throw everything out of your way and provide you with this extremely high level and easy to reason interface. Nim actually looked pretty good, but then I realized it was just the significant whitesapce xD Maybe I'm too biased because Python was my first (proper) language.
