Possibly nim as well. But We should be able to provide interop between llvm and gcc so they can all cross pollinate in some way? Not saying it’s easy, nor that I have the skills to do it, but we should be able to build across boundaries and stop soloing so much?
- blackrock 6y agoI don’t hear much about Nim. Will this language ever take off? It seems this language needs a large corporation backing it, to get a chance to succeed.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoNim's compiler was full of bugs and would crash on trivial programs for a long time. It also has garbage collection so ends up in a different niche. Just like Zig not parsing tabs or carriage returns or V being broken on windows and never fixed, I don't think it is corporate sponsorship that is the problem, but more basic utility. Plenty of people are trying these new languages, the demand is there, but there is usually some huge blind spot that they don't deal with until it is too late and they have already burned a lot of people that gave them their attention.
- juststeve 6y agoYeah I didn’t know about the bugs.. still, the idea / design is good. Hopefully they get it sorted out
- juststeve 6y agoProbably, but it could also be a positive as it is not beholden to one of the major tech companies.
