Lots of people are irreparably damaged by toxic workplaces. One of the insidious things about it is the amount of physiological and mental damage being done may not be consciously noticed until far too late. Even to the point of suicide,

It has happened to friends of mine, a year ago, and was the topic of conversation over some beers. They too just wanted to sell some old or unused computer and electronic "crap", that others might find useful. Instead, banned fo

Object Pascal is a very good C++ alternative that has been hiding in plain sight for quite a while.

Connected to that, it's easier for Google (in tandem with YouTube) to destroy or inhibit competing programming languages as well. Quite easy for them to depress views, spread or emphasize misinformation, etc... The power of Google to

The Pascal/Object Pascal story is quite interesting. It goes to show how important corporate backing and luck are to the popularity of programming languages.

They have to work with and stay on antivirus vendors more aggressively. You can take new releases and submit them to the antivirus companies to get white-listed. They each have their own processes, but a lot of them allow going to their

If you are going to mention Odin, Jai, and Go then you should mention Vlang too ( https://vlang.io/ ) because it's in that category.

I don't totally disagree with your point. Ken Thompson is a legend, by himself. However, neither he nor the other creators made their own language, without backing. We will likely never know if by themselves, the Go creators would o

The thing about these newer C alternatives, is that they have to provide compelling reasons for people to want to use it. Not just be a little more modern than C, but features that put it over their competitors. In the case of Rust, at lea

Agree about Go and Google. With Google at your back, the question changes to how could you possibly fail? Not to say it's impossible, but is to say it's quite hard to do.

People sleep on Object Pascal to the extent it's almost comical. Not sure why more people refuse to get over the begin...end versus {...} bias or hypocrisy (since some will jump all over Python-like or Ruby-like syntax). A lot of wha

There are more out there than Zig. There's Vlang and Odin as well. D is something to look at, but I'm wondering if the opportunity passed it by and it has become almost as wide/complex as C++. I never quite understood why D

You could use Go, and there is fyne for cross-platform GUIs, but I think part of the issue is not having a RAD IDE (like say Lazarus or Delphi as in Object Pascal). There is the convenience factor of using Go to build such, and then there

Another to add to the group is Vlang ( https://vlang.io/ ), as has strong interop. It has the focus of being an alternative to C/C++/Go.

On HN, it appears the downvoting is about those with the power disagreeing with a different or unpopular opinion, so is of little deterrence to trolling. The troll can be typing something that is popular or is popular, but is specifically

Likely the Python-like/Whitespace-sensitive language issue is vastly more polarizing than people suspect. Possibly, if a person was introduced to a certain style with their first language (maybe second), it can become a preference. T

In that category (of C/C++ alternatives) is also Vlang ( https://vlang.io/ ). It would be closer to Odin, than Julia, Go, or Nim. Although Vlang and Odin have a strong Go influence.
