Meh? I write pretty much exclusively in C and honestly I still like C++ better, and wouldn’t mind switching to Rust either
Yeah, learning Rust has given me greater appreciation for C/C++. Like, the selling feature of all three is that they don’t use a runtime, which means you’re not locked into that ecosystem. You can create libraries with them, that can be used from virtually any other language.
It’s also easy to say that the performance of Java, Python et al is fine, but having a larger application start up in 1 rather than 20 seconds is still always appreciated.
as long as everyone is clear that lisp has the best syntax idc about the rest.
Homoiconicity is the shit.
ATS blasting in here to give you linear types, dependent types, & refinement types with the literal performance of C—& safety beyond all 3.
