Paul Graham's https://paulgraham.com/onlisp.html is a whole book about it that really helped it click for me. The challenge with the syntax is that there is no syntax. Work that we're used to offloading to syntax is instead carried by your brain. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

BTW, if you're interested in learning more about Lisp macros, Paul Graham's book about advanced Lisp programming, On Lisp, covers the topic pretty extensively and it's freely downloadable from his website: Book description: https://paulgraham.com/onlisp.html Download page: https://paulgraham.com/onlisptext.html. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

There are other choices of languages, that are close to and influenced by Golang. Languages such as Odin[1] and Vlang[2] (which addresses several issues mentioned). Even more, they are at the stage where advance programmers can contribute or influence them in the ways that they might find satisfactory. Golang is too far down the road and cemented in its ways, to expect such significant changes in direction. [1]:... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

> For me the biggest gap in programming languages is a rust like language with a garbage collector, instead of a borrow checker. https://vlang.io. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

I think V [1] is what Go should’ve been. Simple, compiles fast, integrated language tooling, in fact quite similar to Go, but without all the dumb design decisions.

It’s a shame that the compiler is quite buggy, but hopefully that’s going to improve. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Mantis is a type-safe web framework written in V that emphasizes explicit, magic-free code. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

For development, V offers both an interpreter and watch mode, combining the convenience of scripting languages with the type safety and performance of compiled languages. It even includes built-in channel-compatible concurrency - truly the best of both worlds. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
