Well, we don't really know. The keynote claims it is a superset, but elsewhere they say they will strive to be a superset. So how much of a superset are they? Are there huge swaths missing? Really hard to tell at this stage from a tech demo. According to this post they've just been working on this for a short time, so a lot of their statements are defacto aspirational. Programming language lifetimes are measured in decades. They've got a long way to go.
- MattRix 4y agoOk but this is from the guy that created LLVM, Clang, and Swift… This is the real deal, he has no reason to exaggerate or lie.
- whereuceylon 4y ago> but this is from the guy that created LLVM, Clang, and Swift… This is the real deal, Remember Ceylon? The language, which was supposed to be a better Java plus interoperable with Java? That was created by the guy who had created Hibernate and then Seam framework. Where is Ceylon now? People have different reasons and opinions for starting yet another language. Just because they have created something popular previously doesn't mean this is the next big thing.
- MattRix 4y agonope I don’t remember Ceylon or any of the other frameworks you mentioned… and I highly doubt they are of the calibre of LLVM haha
- ModernMech 4y agoMy only point is that this is a show, don’t tell kind of thing. We’ve been told, but we have yet to be shown.
