Written in Rust. Hmm.
SerenityOS is written in C++.
I'd love some kind of meta-language that is easy to read and
write, easy to maintain - but fast. C, C++, Rust etc... are
not that easy to read, write and maintain.
- cultofmetatron 11mo agofast necessitates manual control -> more semantics for low level control) that need to be expressible, ie: more complex easy to understand, maintain -> computer does more work for you to "figure things out" in a way that simply can't be optimal under al conditions. TLDR: what you're asking for isn't really possible without some form of AGI
- card_zero 11mo agoWhat languages are easy to understand and maintain, anyway?
- cultofmetatron 11mo agoId argue that python, elixir, ruby and all manner of languages are easy to understand and maintain. I dont' have to think about memory management or buffer overuns. its much easier to avoid race conditions since I'm not stressing about low level details. by that same definition, rust is pretty easy to maintain. I won't say its easy to write though.
- LavenderDay3544 11mo agoBeing maintainable comes down to code quality, comments, and documentation. These are thing that I really want to emphasize for this project but for now I'm just one guy and it's very early days so I have to focus developing core kernel components first.
