- pipeline_peak 2y agoI'm pretty sure ANIL is taking the back
- RaftPeople 2y agoI'm re-watching the show Silicon Valley and this name would have been a perfect product name in one of their episodes.
- bheadmaster 2y agoThe headline is confusing. It is meant to be read as (Python & C++)-inspired language [...]
- seanw444 2y agoYeah at first I was like "well that's an unfortunate name choice."
- omoikane 2y agoOriginal title was ANIL(A Nice Intermediate Language) Python & C++ inspired programming language that transpiles to C and can be embedded within C source files Current title is confusing since it truncates the "ANIL(A Nice Intermediate Language)" part, but maybe that was done by HN and not by the person who submitted the article. A better title would be just that first part.
- shiroiushi 2y agoExactly: I came here specifically to point out that Python is definitely NOT inspired by C++, nor does it transpile to C. Nor is it anything new, as implied by the lack of a year within parentheses. This headline is wrong.
