Am I crazy for feeling like Julia is the new HN darling like clojure, go, ruby, lisp, and scala before it?
It seems like in the last week it just started popping up on HN every couple days.
- pcmonk 13y agoHN goes through phases, which I rather like. This way, we get semi-in-depth coverage of topics serially instead of always uniformly dividing our attention among all interesting projects at the same time.
- RivieraKid 13y agoI hope you're right.
- sdegutis 13y agoIt makes sense. We hear about a language, take an initially skeptical approach to it, research it, try it out, and report our findings to others we think might be interested (i.e. HN).
- idProQuo 13y agoI don't really see the problem with this. A lot of the languages you mention have been slowly and sustainably building support, even when they aren't on the front page of HN.
- charlieflowers 13y agoNimrod's turn is coming soon. And it is well-deserving. It has already had some pre-HN-darling attention here, which is what brought it to my attention. I'm very intrigued by it. http://nimrod-lang.org/ http://nimrod-lang.org/
