What I look for in a language (in no particular order):
- Yes, fast compilation.
- Generics, templates or a decent macro system
- Defer, finally or scope based resource allocation
- Some way of handling coroutines (async/await or channels)
- Supports Linux AIX/x64, Win64, ARMv7/8, Darwin
- Tooling for OSX, Android, Linux, Windows
- Supports clojures, blocks or at least inline functions
- Supports ranges, lazy iterations, generators or at least yield
FPC actually comes close, except it doesn't have clojures coroutines or generics.
- TurboHaskal 6y agoIt's actually disappointing to see so many people looking for a cleaner C++ with faster compilation times, or a Go with generics and manual memory management, yet completely overlooking FPC.
- pjmlp 6y agoIt does have generics.
