I noticed Rust was not your list of languages. Is Rust fundamentally different then these languages? If so, why?

  Ah, good question. Rust could definitely be in that list as well! It's a more mature language (so that's why I didn't mention it in the list), but conceptually it very much fits.

    Seeing the original list, my guess was that it was no gc, with a small runtime - and the immediate question then was - how is this different/better than "D as a better C"?
    • nickmqb 8y ago
      The main difference is simplicity. D has a lof of features, like classes, inheritance, exceptions, properties, etc. Muon is a much simpler language that specifically avoids all of those things.

  Rust aims for (mostly) memory safely which none of the others do. As a result it is way more complicated and rather different from them.
