There's nim [1] which is aiming for the same thing - syntax similar to python and performance similar to C++, zig etc. 1 - https://nim-lang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

> GC languages are slower This is not necessarily true. It depends on a language, e.g. Go is slow, Nim[0] is extremely fast with conventional GC and slightly faster with ARC/ORC[1]. GC programs can be faster than manually managed ones in some cases. It's just manual memory management gives you more control of where and when free is called. And a good type system is a privelege that gives Nim more control with... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

That's actually a great argument for Nim[0]. Easy interop with C, native-speed performance, and a syntax very close to Python in both readability and how quickly you can get something working. Batteries included, automatic memory management without a conventional GC and metaprogramming - is a really cool combination. [0] - https://nim-lang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Coincidentally, just a few days ago, I tried to run Nim[0] on Windows XP as an experiment. And to my surprise, the latest 32-bit release of Nim simply works out the box. But Nim compiles to C, so I also needed C compiler and all modern versions of mingw failed to launch. After some time I managed to find very old Mingw (gcc 4.7.1) that have finally worked [0].

Mathjs - An extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

For solving linear systems, FEAScript supports LU decomposition (adapted from math.js) and an in-house Frontal solver. For nonlinear systems, you can use the Newton-Raphson method. [Many more features are also included (check the resources if you want to dive deeper - Hint: it’s not as slow as a C++ developer might think, thanks to V8 🙏)]. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

Yes, I've learned that Heynote is lacking some documentation. Will improve that. Math.js (https://mathjs.org/) powers the Math blocks, so what's supported by Math.js should be supported by Heynote, with the addition of currency conversions (exchange rates are updated daily). > How to convert between fahrenheit and celsius? This should work:

  10 celsius to fahrenheit
