Go, despite using GC, is still a compiled language. From what I've seen (including various test results), Go is usually faster than Java. There is also the issue of, what is fast enough? A lot of times, people don't really have

I totally understand the preference, as using snake_case has grown on me. But, when you jump between many languages (with different case usage), you kind of have to be agnostic about such things.

Well, such things can be subjective. Yes, Odin does not do concurrency and channels. This appears to be because Odin doesn't do automatic memory management, and has more limits on the language, in terms of focus. It can be argued th

I see it more as Odin has a very strong Go-like foundation, and then borrowed heavily from Jai too, in terms of syntax and various features. So that superficially, it looks like Jai. To the point, people could think it was a clone or for

I think the reason why he is liking Odin, as a person who used Go, is because it's arguably an offshoot language of Go. Odin ( https://odin-lang.org/docs/overview/ ) has borrowed a lot from Go, which can be ea

Jai has not been released to the public. If people are looking for a language that has been very heavily influenced by it and is in a near category, then that would arguably be Odin ( https://youtu.be/M763xHjsPk4 ). Odin is

I'm kind of with you about Google being heavily responsible to the level of which Go became an success, but that has been the case (backed by large companies) for many popular programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Rust, etc... I

No system will ever be perfect, but it can be made harder to tamper with, like using voter-verifiable paper records with voting machines. The process of tampering can be made significantly to exponentially more difficult, if those in charge

There is a strong argument for voter-verifiable paper records of voting machines, which give the ability to spot check results. There are better ways to move forward for a better system, and better protections of democracy, for those that

You can't say Jai is not real, because there are beta testers using it. However, there are other languages that have taken and implemented various concepts that Jai had to offer. By the time Jai comes out, and is open to the public,

Lazarus is great, especially on the desktop, but wish they made mobile development a priority and went in on it fully.

By the way, Vlang has that level of C interop as well ( https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md ), plus an outright C2V transpiler ( https://github.com/vlang/c2v ) and c

Isn't Zig not to hit 1.0 until 2025 or later? Looks like you will be waiting a number of years.

Good point. Way too many people act like GC means an unremovable curse, versus it can be another option, among various memory management options of a language.

The languages which are closer to Go, are Vlang and Odin. With Vlang also having a focus on C interop as well (importing C libraries, C2V transpiler, and ability to be compiled to human-readable C). These debatably have a much better shot,

There is also Vlang ( https://vlang.io/ ), which has C interop and can be compiled into C. In addition to it being both a Go and C alternative language, that has high readability and usability, to include being able to use i
