Yeah, so? Do you think you have some unique insight, that you have to plaster all over this thread 20 times? Say it and be done with it.
We don't think it's the new production ready language from Microsoft or Google either...
>His benchmarks exaggerate by comparing the speed of print statements, and the language itself is essentially a transpilation (a direct rule based conversion without an AST) to x86 so no other platforms can be supported.
If a language has a good enough syntax and semantics, that's totally find with me.
I could not give less fucks for non x86 platforms, especially at such an early stage of a language's development.
That said, it also says it supports transpiring to C, in which case the whole point of "not supporting other platforms" is moot.
