Unless I'm talking about Erlang, my answer is almost going to be "I really miss Erlang's pattern matching". (I know it's not exclusive to Erlang, but that's where I learned it).
My dream language right now would be something with the expressiveness of Ruby and the concurrency abilities and pattern matching from Erlang.
Hmm. I think I need to go look at where Reia (http://reia-lang.org/ http://reia-lang.org/) has got to since I last looked at it.
- tikhonj 15y agoThis is completely off-topic, but I really love Reia's logo.
- bmunro 15y agoI also miss pattern matching when using other languages. As an aside I just had a look at what stage Reia is up to. The github page says that Reia is now defunct. (https://github.com/tarcieri/reia https://github.com/tarcieri/reia) There is also another ruby-like language on the erlang VM - Elixir (https://github.com/josevalim/elixir https://github.com/josevalim/elixir)
- cjenkins 15y agoI haven't looked at it in a while, but you might check out Robert Virding's Lisp Flavored Erlang at https://github.com/rvirding/lfe https://github.com/rvirding/lfe. He's definitely familiar with Erlang as IIRC he was one of the original authors.
