Not in mainstream languages. There's a lot of ongoing research in the space. Otherwise, Rust is probably the most mainstream language that achieves your goals.

Games are a bit different imo. While they're often networked they tend to not get attacked the same way as other software for a variety of reasons (though some games become so popular that it becomes worthwhile, like Minecraft). If a language set out to be "safer" (ie: improve temporal safety) but still prioritized performance, and emphasized its use case as being gaming, or explicitly for non-security-sensitive use cases, I'd be a lot more onboard with that. Jai seems to be driving towards that.
My issue with Hare is that it's presented (both on its page and in this HN thread) as being a language for general systems work.
- vladharbuz 4y agoThank you for all of your feedback, I hope you end up at least trying Hare for the use cases that feel right to you! :)
- staticassertion 4y agoI appreciate that. I really do hate to be critical of open source work. I just feel this is an important issue.
