What is a modern programming language?
I like discovering new programming languages or more specifically new approaches to programming. I'm looking for new landscapes these languages can help me to explore. And when I say new I mean something I was not aware of, not necessary something recent. This is why I'm both surprised and disappointed when the claim is to be modern without specific novelties.
- Smaug123 6y agoAgreed. I'd say the link should be to https://docs.toit.io/ https://docs.toit.io/, which at least attempts to answer the question "why does this language exist?" (the most important question).
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoI imagine you enjoyed the recent spate of Forth articles. Old, but very different.
- dwenzek 6y agoExactly the kind of PL ideas I'm looking for. Discovering concatenative languages, like Forth, opens a door to a new world.
