Hacker news predictions (and sentiments) about new technology always fall flat on its face.
You tried a new language that made it obvious it was still very early and evolving fast, then based your whole prediction of this language's future on this early alpha version.

- mhh__ 2y agoIt's a new language that has a very clear structural relationship to another language. Unless they change direction it's possible to reason about its future. Rust now looks pretty similar to the Rust I first used in 2015-ish, surprise?
- melodyogonna 2y agoRust was started in 2006, it had already undergone 9 years of development by 2015. in fact, it reached stability in 2015. According to Mojo's changelog, it was started in September 2022, which makes it less than 2 years old in active development... but even then, it'll look a lot like its final form by year's end.

Take a look at Wikpedia's list of programming languages created in the past 14 years. There's some winners, true, but there's plenty of cruft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_programming_languages#2010s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_programming_langua... You this optimistic about Carbon as well?
