It's a little bit embarrassing that a Fortran compiler provides a shell for interactive use, yet the Rust project, with at least two orders of magnitude more development effort, does not.
- certik 3y agoLFortran error messages style got inspired by Rust, and the Fortran Package Manager got inspired by Cargo. And in return Rust can get inspired by LFortran to do the interactive prompt. :) In all seriousness though, Rust got many things right and showed how a modern language, compiler and a package manager should behave. I think it genuinely moved the state-of-the-art. And we are trying hard to improve on the state-of-the-art as well. I think a modern compiler should compile fast in Debug mode, and generate high performance code in Release mode. And it should compile to a binary as well as work interactively. Etc.
- Vecr 3y agoRust used to have an interactive prompt of sorts with MIRI, I'm not sure if that's still possible. I don't think I've heard anyone talk about it for 5 years.
