ocaml is one of my favourite languages too, but I've found myself being drawn towards rust for my latest project due to its major superpower - you can write a rust library that looks like a c library from the outside, and can be called

that was my favourite bit in the entire post - the one place where zig has unambiguously one-upped other languages. the problems it is solving are: 1. from the user's point of view, you can now have multiline string literals that are p

yeah, it went one step beyond wordstar because the menus did not drop down and cover up your screen, the menu was all horizontal, so if you knew the keystrokes via muscle memory you never saw menus flashing on the screen. i think nano does

you would end up with llvm-ir-like code that was only technically rust/d insofar as the compilers could handle it. it would not be human-readable or maintainable at all; indeed, it would be harder to convert that to idiomatic rust&#x
