It claims to be one of the fastest “scripting” languages, where can I see the numbers? Does it perform close to DaScript?
Also, is it only an interpreted language or can I compile it too if I want?
Is it like Ruby in the sense that I have to share the whole runtime with the ruby script or can I somehow share a standalone cross-platform executable?
I’ll be honest, the design decision at first hand sight did not look that exciting
string name = Stdio.stdin->gets();
- knowitnone 2y ago"string name = Stdio.stdin->gets();" It did say it was like C so the design decision you don't like is C

- Alifatisk 2y agoI don't think it goes both ways in this case. I wasn't a fan of their inspiration from C, it doesn't mean I don't like C. I'm fine with C. Keep the focus on Pike.
- nine_k 2y agoThe proper sales pitch would be: "A fast dynamic scripting language with a sane module system, hot reloading, and easy C interop". The fact that the syntax is similar to C should be mentioned without the pomp somewhere in the chapter about syntax; this is nothing to be excited about, but understandable, given the intended audience.
