This is truly very exciting, but the more I see of parallel language development, the more I want to focus on languages like Haskell, which have no side effects and therefore have some substantial implicit parallelization effect. Don't get me wrong, I love Python (and C) but I wouldn't be surprised if we were all using a Haskell derivative in 5 years instead.
- pieceofpeace 17y agoMore and more languages are acquiring functional-programming features, so, may be we will see a hybrid of Python & Haskell. languages like Haskell, which have no side effects Haskell does have side-effects. Most programs have side-effects. Functional languages like Haskell are designed to separate side-effects and pure functions. It gives the interpreter/compiler the ability to parallelize the pure function.
