Never heard about it before, it looks well done.
Very interesting language.
First a great point about the homepage: it goes directly to business, no marketing buzzwords, no stupid mascot, one glance at that page and any developer gets a very good idea of what that language does and doesn't.
Second yes, they are very interesting choices and functions.
However:
https://github.com/brownplt/pyret-lang https://github.com/brownplt/pyret-lang
It's implemented in Javascript? This is a kind of no started for the kind of app I do, personally. But as a stand alone language which interpreter would be written in C/C++ and could be dropped into an existing native app, it would be interesting.
- skrishnamurthi 5y agoWell, actually, it's implemented in Pyret itself (-:. But it currently compiles down to JavaScript. Our goal is to create an awesome language for certain educational settings, and many of our users (e.g., schools) are on restricted machines that can't install desktop software. The browser is the one platform they can easily access, and it also saves teachers from turning into sysadmins (to install, upgrade, etc.). Hence our browser-based delivery. There is also a CLI. And in principle, someone could write a back-end that targets native code, etc. We don't have the resources to do that right now (but it's all Open Source).
