This question is not easy. Most languages I consider well designed do not become mainstream - which comes with a host of problems. Nowadays I think if having no type system at all is better than having a broken type system, thus I am considering picking up a mainstream dynamic language (JS being an obvious candidate - but the runtime puts me off).
- tarikjn 12y agoJS could fill the role but both the runtime and language are unideal, we end up dealing with a lot of browser baggage. JS is still my tool of choice for building web apps. Just as for long running services, Clojure is a no brainer for me. I am pretty open to ML or LISP based syntaxes, not necessarily looking for something Clojure-like.
