   Ah makes sense, they can do more with an intermediate IR (MLIR) and not make llvm churn through a ton of unnecessary nodes. Thanks!

   I agree that Jeremy was excited about Swift being a possible option for solving the "two languages" problem, but to be fair there weren't many options for ML programmers at the time. Also, I think "Swift for Tensorflow&q

   Chris, you are so generous for explaining this stuff, thank you. Quick question about #2 that I may not be picking up on, but how is it possible to avoid generating the "TON of IR" in the first place? (I'd live with a link to

   When a new language project like this drops I always feel like a kid on Christmas morning (or whatever your favorite gift-giving holiday is). I've wanted to see a general purpose language build on top of MLIR since it came out and I th

   I agree. I feel like sketching in JS and solidifying in TS is super productive. Being able to go from a plain old JS object to a type is really satisfying. I feel like full stack TS might be a great choice for new web projects. And if you f

   Good question. To be fair, JavaScript was my first "real" programming language, so my brain has adapted the most to it's weirdness. That's probably why TypeScript is very useful for me. But to answer your question, I&#x2

   I had a similar experience where I was able to pick up most of it just by tinkering around with it, but there were a few places where I expected it to behave in a certain way, but ended up tripping over a few places where the type system is

    The spirit of starting over instead of cramming more into an old language, but making the new thing highly compatible with the old thing via transpilers or runtime sharing (Swift with Objective-C, Kotlin with Java).

    This is exactly what I dream of. Expressivity and flexibility of TypeScript, but with built in pattern matching.

    Everything they are doing in swift and Kotlin are within reach. Heck, those languages _copied_ a lot from C#, so it's the Original Gangster in terms of features. It's just that there's a lot of old baggage in there in terms o

    Great question because I think TypeScript is the future in terms of a web stack. With the 'metaframeworks' (not just the ones from Meta, winky face) all moving towards a Server Side Rendering paradigm, I feel like a full-stack Typ

    Yeah I argree, making a new lang for a vm runtime doesn’t make as much sense when rust is right there, because the vm itself has a lot of baggage and limitations (OOP baked in, start up time,etc). The dotnet team seems to be moving mountain

    by zengid 4y ago

    Hot take but I wish they’d start a new lang in the spirit of what’s happening in swift/Kotlin instead of evolving C#. I use it everyday. I love the new pattern matching, it simplifies a lot of gnarly reflective type checks and feels go

    Really curious about the Flutter/Dart team. It looks like great tech but its by google so its always at risk of abandonment.

    First off, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Second, judging from the author's github [0], I'm guessing this was made in Haxe [1], which is a language often used to make games. I'd looked at Haxe before,
