Once you throw out the BEAM and OTP, why not OCaml?
Seriously, I find the OCaml syntax way less obtuse than, for example, all the trait and macro idioms that I have to chop through with Rust. Sure, Rust has braces, but that doesn't make its syntax easy by any means.
Nevertheless, I am happy to see this Cambrian Explosion of programming languages. Eventually, we may get a good one.
- hoppp 1y agoOCaml is a good one but many find it too hard. It can be a bit alien and there are not enough jobs to justify learning it for work.
- batisteo 1y agoAs a note, before being bootstraped, Rust was written in OCaml iirc
- steveklabnik 1y agoThat’s correct.
