If you're looking for a language that aims to solve the "two-language problem" like Mojo, but want something more open, more mature and less influenced by VC funding, check out Julia: https://julialang.org/ https://julialang.org/
- runarberg 5mo agoI used Julia a lot when I was studying statistics (which I dropped out of) back in 2015, but I recently (like last weekend) came back to it to write a prototype of a supervised learning model, and I have to say, coming back to it was pure joy. And my model prototype was indeed fast enough for me. Now I will probably rewrite the model in rust if I want to do anything with it (mostly for the web assembly target as I want this thing to run in browsers) but I will for sure be using Julia for further experimentation. Lovely language.
- ssivark 5mo ago> mostly for the web assembly target Funny you should say that... there was recently a very interesting announcement for a Julia-to-WASM compiler and a full-stack signals-based web framework: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-experimental-wasmtarget-jl-therapy-jl-julia-to-webassembly-compiler-with-a-full-stack-signals-framework-built-on-it/136901 https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-experimental-wasmtarge...
- runarberg 5mo agoI saw that, but then I saw this: > Both repos were built iteratively with LLM coding agents I think I would rather just use Rust.
