Neither is C++. But languages being designed these days don't look like Python or Ruby, they look like Swift, Dart, and Go.
- madeofpalk 12y agoHmm. Maybe because we don't need a new high-level language Python or Ruby, but there are opportunities for better low-level languages?
- breadbox 12y agoAgreed. The recent spate of compiled languages says more about C++ than anything else.
- swannodette 12y agoI'm not sure I would lump Dart in with those as its typing discipline is completely optional. Also Julia, Racket and Clojure are all relatively recent and very actively developed. I think dynamic and schema-less approaches have some very serious legs yet :)
- nmrm 12y agoI'm not sure I would describe Racket as recent.
- swannodette 12y agoRacket is not a single language as much as a family of languages quite a few which are quite recent.
- nmrm 12y agookay, fair enough.
