A good language should leave no room for mistakes.

A good language should leave no room for mistakes.
- pessimizer 1y agoI agree. It's sad that the only languages that exist are the bad ones.
- 9rx 2y agoBut a good language should also be useful, and you can't have something both useful and without room for mistakes. A curious contradiction.
- adamors 2y agoThe best applications have no bugs, and you can only make sure of that if you don’t write any code.
- stpedgwdgfhgdd 2y agoThe language that does not have room for mistakes cannot be used by humans.
- revskill 2y agoWe need it for llm agent.
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoThat's just one dimension of "good" though, every language has its own pitfalls, some more than others. Go has pitfalls, sure, but the language it was designed to replace (C/C++) has more of them. And languages with no room for mistakes have their own issues, like readability or productivity, but I don't have any experience with those; what language(s) are you thinking of? I don't know it myself but Rust seems more "bolted down" when it comes to that aspect.
