In fact, when I went hunting for SC, not knowing the name, I first found BitC -- which I agree sounds quite interesting, but seems very heavyweight. I had heard the description "It's just C, written in S-expressions.", and BitC is decidedly not that.
- apgwoz 18y agoBitC's syntax probably isn't going to remain s-exp based. They used it originally because they were familiar with it and didn't want to worry about syntax while defining the core language.
- malkia 18y agoI know little bit about bitC, but it has different purpose and ideas, and the lispish syntax is just for the prototype phase. SC sounds fun! Imagine writting CUDA/OpenCL kernels in Scheme-Lisp way :)
- Zak 18y ago>the lispish syntax is just for the prototype phase That's what they said about Lisp itself. Let's hope it's just as true.
