The Steel Programming Language

• whitehouse3 7y ago
  > Steel aims to be friendly, efficient and statically typed programming language encourage you to write better coding and tooling, build from the ground by community envision for a great developer experience with native performance. How is this different than Rust or TS or Go?

    I have added the missing info in my repo but frankly, I'm not well-versed in writing compiler, even years of knowledge in programming with various programming languages. My intention is to encourage the community to come together and collaborate on a new language that is easy for anyone to pickup but will need community to be the decision maker to build and evolve the language. My opinion is Rust can be challenging for the average programmers to adopt, some might not like Go's syntax and GC. Steel could be somewhere we could write coding as solid as steel.

      You mean like zig or Pony? These things already do exist, with competent developers behind it.

  The programming language doesn't seem to exist. The URL got submitted to HN the same minute the github repo got created. It only contains a couple of sentences. Unless the author wants to reserve the 'stellang' user name on all forums. Twitter handle, reddit user, even a subreddit got created in the last hour.

    Thanks, I glad you notice. I have been thinking for weeks whether I announce too hasty on my idea and decide to give a try.

  This seems to be an interesting language, are you proposing an efficient coding style for that matter when it comes to complex project? How is this different than C, Python, Ruby, Swift and Kotlin?
