Sadly not a match. All I remember was that the language was written in C, compiled to bytecode and was executed in a virtual machine (like Lua, and similar languages). It was "small" and "fast" and probably had a C-like syntax.
I should perform a decent search, because the more I think about it the more I'm annoyed now!
- lorenzk 8y agoNo virtual machine, but maybe you‘re thinking about https://nim-lang.org https://nim-lang.org ?
- stevekemp 8y agoNo, it was definitely bytecode/vm-based. That was one of the reasons I was interested - because I've written a couple of toy virtual machines myself. I should just post an "Ask HN: Tell me of your niche languages" and hope I get lucky!
- masukomi 8y agoPharo is a Smalltalk distribution. I believe it's based on Squeak.
