My two cents: low-level programming languages (e.g. with manual memory management) are essential for tasks like writing operating systems, video games, real-time audio applications and other such things. There are few low-level programming languages available currently. The most used is C, and while it has its wonderful parts, C can also cause a lot of headaches and bugs. Whether C++ is a good replacement is a can of worms I won't get into. Hare attempts to improve upon C while still remaining a very simple language, with much better error handling, support for arrays and slices, a rich but still minimal standard library, more concise and powerful function return values using tagged unions, improved memory safety, and other things you can find here: * https://harelang.org/blog/2021-02-09-hare-advances-on-c/ https://harelang.org/blog/2021-02-09-hare-advances-on-c/ * https://harelang.org/tutorials/introduction/ https://harelang.org/tutorials/introduction/ Disclaimer: I worked on Hare and this is just my personal opinion. I hope everyone can judge whether or not they like Hare for themselves by playing with the language!
