9 years after the created this language they’re only now beginning to do this?
I haven't seen this in ages, but was always sad it didn't pick up a little more steam. Neat project. I'd love to learn concatenative and array languages using it.
I don't know about now but it soon may be :)An interesting project chose it as its lang: https://collapseos.org/
i used it years ago. it solved nothing for me despite being cool. i've not seen any interesting developments in that direction.but then i still consider java, c#, go, rust, haskell pointess badly designed and built clusterfucks, so what do i know?
What are your thoughts on D? My experience is limited but seems like a very underrated language.
Haven't heard from this language since 2016 where a coworker tried this out but then gave up on it.
SPARK, the language. Whatever happened to that?
I tinkered with it a little bit. It is surprisingly modern for a language built in the 80s. Unfortunately the development stalled. Would be worth of a new modern implementation.
This language has been around for ages and does not get enough attention imho; it is a very fast Prolog like and it has been robust for a while now. But almost no one uses it unfortunately...
I am relatively new to a project that is being sold and used in the order of millions for approximately 25 to thirty years.It was refreshing to find out that one of the approximately 7 languages that contribute to the final executable that was abandoned in ~2007 has been revived and is now (2016ish) being maintained by EclipseThese kind of things make you realise that the Silicon Valley way of doing things is not the silver bullet.
