Candor - programming language
- breckinloggins 15y agoSmall suggestion: you're essentially using Candor's github repo as your landing page. You only have a few seconds to grab someone's attention. I would add a section to the very top of your readme that asks "What is Candor?" and then explains: - What it is - Why it's better So far, I get that it's kinda like Dart, but not. As a "web skimmer", I'll need a bit more incentive right up front to dig deeper, or you've lost me. From one language geek to another, I wish you the best of luck on your project!
- indutny 15y agoGood point!
- breckinloggins 15y agoAwesome. Thanks for the update! Next nitpick: the readme on a github page is "below the fold". Your current description is about the codebase, not about the product. You might consider changing it to something like "Candor - Javascript simplified" or something.
- homakov 15y agoIs it transcompiler like coffeescript? If no, what is the benefit of using this? Read readme but didn't get point yet.
- kolev 15y agoIf you start a new language, why not use OOP and eliminate language crutches such as: sizeof expr and keysof expr? An OOP approach is easier to both implement and grasp - expr.size and expr.keys. And lastly, the main difference with JavaScript I see is the lack of the "function" keyword - is this a good enough reason to advertise this as a new language?
