Looks like Stainless Scala, mixed with Rust, and given a C++ syntax. This mix looks interesting as such. But of course Wadler's law applies: Why THIS syntax?

But of course Wadler's law applies: Why THIS syntax? Looks like a blast-from-the-past, bloatty and complex. Modern languages go mostly for some more lightweight look-and-feel. Usually more "pythonic". This would be imo also here the better idea.
- HelloNurse 6y agoA lot of punctuation, most of it painful: * arrow and double arrow * arrow and double colon * apparently random semicolons Not all syntax choices are bad (for example, consistently declaring types after things with a colon as a separator), but certainly not coherent and elegant enough to compete with Python, C/C++/Java, Lisp, etc.
- PhoenixRobo 6y agoI'm not sure how it supports "modern cloud developers, coming from say a TypeScript/Node stack" with that syntax.
