When I look at a programming language site, especially for a "new" language, I want a quick way to navigate to a reasonably sized decent code sample, ideally documented, showing off significant language features, idiomatic syntax

"Perhaps this explains why Odin has found such widespread usage and popularity. /s" What an unnecessarily snark and dismissive comment to make about someone's work. - I'd say within a certain niche Odin

Can't benefit from them patching a security issue, but don't suffer from - them breaking something - a supply chain attack - them making a change which breaks your program - you having accidentally relied on a bug or an

C is liked particularly, even considering all its shortcomings, for being a relatively limited language in scope, being raw but flexible. D's scope seems to go far beyond what your average C programmer would want in a language; "u

^ and this person (no affiliation) has a much "truer" C alternative in the making, just for everyone's information: https://c3-lang.org/ Haven't gotten around to trying it out, but skimmed the documents

Excuse me for not having much to add to the discussion but two interesting references for people to check out, if so inclined of course: a) Ginger Bill (the Odin language creator, no affiliation) stated on a podcast that Odin will never hav

Seems needlessly harsh and also misplaced in some way. Zig is super non-ergonomic to any C-developer, and its explicitness at all costs is also non-C-like (meaning a rather big shift for someone actually liking C). Rust is a completely diff

I always thought it was more akin to a C++ than a C alternative, and reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_(programming_language) seems to rather confirm this notion: "originated as a re-engineering of C++&q

Thanks for the answer, very nice of you to take the time even hours after. Guess it makes sense; I'm self taught myself, but thought academically taught developers should have a leg up in theory and mathematics, at the same time though

Nowhere have I claimed that the whole product would need (nor should) be fully open source and why wouldn't non-US wages help? Assuming it takes me X-amount of software engineering hours to produce an alpha version of a given product a

Makes sense, out of all the potential differentiators the source of skill attainment simply isn't the necessarily dominant one. Thanks for the answer :)

Since this thread, rightfully so (and in full agreement), has people complain about the bloat of today's software stack, is it only me in thinking there may be sincere potential profit streams for high quality paid software? I would ha

Hope this doesn't come off as disrespectful, as in that I don't believe you, but out of personal interest, would you consider expanding on that? I'd love to hear about the particular example you were thinking of, or in what w
