Elixir, Clojure, Rust, Go, Haskell, Elm, TypeScript, Nim, Crystal, Swift, Kotlin, Dart, Gleam,… – there’s so much new(ish) stuff it’s hard to keep up actually, isn’t there? Not complaining, quite the opposite.
- pera 6y ago(Haskell is 30 years old :)
- jlokier 6y agoHey, I did Haskell nearly 30 years ago! Even worked on a Haskell compiler, from the first version of the spec. It has changed a lot, but not unrecognisably :-) Haskell 1 is older than Python 1, Linux 1, Java, PHP, Internet Explorer 1.0, and the web generally.
- josefrichter 6y agoYes. Some others are also 10+ years old. What I meant is some surge in usage and interest recently.
- emsy 6y agoI'd argue that those languages (except maybe Haskell), are small increments of existing languages, they're playing it safe. There's nothing wrong with that I personally like Kotlin and Clojure for example. But as I understood the jam calls for participants to be more experimental.
- chillfox 6y agoof those I would only consider Gleam new, the rest are well, either established, up and comers or in the case of Haskell "old". Elixir (2011), Clojure (2007), Rust (2010), Go (2009), Haskell (1990), Elm (2012), TypeScript (2012), Nim (2008), Crystal (2014), Swift (2014), Kotlin (2011), Dart (2011), Gleam (2019), There is also the following that came out in the last 3 years: Zig (2017), Mint (2018),
