Give me a statically typed Python and a type system that can handle external hardware poking around in its memory and I'm in ;)
I'm sort of a fan of Haskell already, to tell you the truth.

- yew 13y agoNot sure that's so far from Haskell, really... :-P Maybe it's my lack of experience talking. Haskell feels heavier in a lot of places. I think the focus on compilation in the backend is almost a downside here, too. Can it be in isolated places? That's doable... Depends on the application. There's a lot of hardware out there that does really weird stuff. There's some interesting work in Haskell-space (eg Atom) but I don't know how comprehensively mature it is.
- merijnv 13y agoI actually started designing statically typed Python, since it seemed a fun exercise. Halfway in I realised I was effectively redesigning Haskell with slightly different syntax and stopped.
