That would be Swift?
Interesting experiment. But it does seem like there are increasing numbers of languages trying to crowd into the same spaces.
- nu11ptr 3y agoYes, but languages don't compose well. For example, you can't take Swift because you like all the things the language does and then add in first class support for Linux and Windows. Thus, anytime a language doesn't align with EVERY thing you need it to do... a new language evolves.
