+1, at the very least, because of the nod to Terra. Terra, imho, feels a lot like the perfect middle-ground between Lua and Rust. It has a clean syntax with some handy/fancy features but keeps a simple static typing system that makes me feel comfortable.
Also, nice to read a review of Rust that didn't reduce to “C is the worst evar!” or “Haskell makes no sense!”. Reasoned and clearcut. I certainly disagree with various parts of the review, but I don't do any dev for webservices so it is unsurprising that the author and I have a differing of opinion.
- jamii 11y agoI would be interested to hear which parts you disagree with. > I don't do any dev for webservices so it is unsurprising that the author and I have a differing of opinion I don't either, I'm working on a database / language runtime. It happens to have a html interface rather than a console interface, but the majority of the work is very far away from normal web-dev :) > Terra, imho, feels a lot like the perfect middle-ground between Lua and Rust In particular, I really like the idea that the Terra type-system is just Lua code, so you can have different kinds of static analysis in different places instead of one-type-system-to-rule-them-all. Of course, it's a totally unproven idea at this point so it's hard to say how that would turn out in a real project.
