- pjmlp 1y agoFirst it needs to catch up to some Pascal features like real enumerated types, no iota/const dance.
- baranul 1y agoI don't understand why Go still resists enums, as if they didn't learn any lessons from continually denying their users generics for so many years.
- beagle3 1y agoI think Nim is much more of a pascal successor than Go ; It retains some of the syntax and feel, although it uses Python style indentation instead of begin/end. It is by no means pascal-simple - although the subset used by 95% of programs is. It does have everything you need including macros, unsafe access, minimal OO but these are almost exclusively used by library developers.
