- coldtea 12y agoLet's see: 1) Not algol derived syntax (check) 2) Speed (check -- I don't care about the: "you can write it totally unidiomatic and squeeze it to almost C or even better for some microbenchmark" situation). 3) Degree in type theory (meant as a joke anyway, refers to the steep learning curve of the tons of concepts introduced). 4) Laziness (don't care about the "you can switch it off" situation). 5) Has a GC (check). Is there anything I really missed? In real life, classical use, as opposed to "if you really try and want it, you can also do it this way"?
