How about v-lang? https://vlang.io/ Not python, but, go-like syntax, and satisfies other stuff you mentioned. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Somewhat similar language, https://vlang.io It’s a mix of go and rust syntax that translates to C. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Language explorers looking for lower level languages like this may also want to take a peek at the V language. https://vlang.io/ I won't say with confidence either is better than the other; but I think both are worth a look. Odin (iiuc) always makes you manage memory; Vlang permits you to, but does also have linking to the Boehm GC that it will generate for you in most cases. Vlang and Odin in terms of syntax and... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months 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 / 11 months 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 / over 1 year ago

There is of course a FOSS rewrite https://mathics.org. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

If you know Mathematica syntax, you could also try Mathics: https://mathics.org. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

I applaud calling the language Mathematica, despite Stephen Mathematica's attempts to rename it a couple of years ago. See also: https://mathics.org/ It's a more mature and complete reimplementation of Mathematica, though still miles behind the original. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

Mathis is an open source clone of Mathematica. https://mathics.org/ Naturally, Wolfram hired the creator and the project nearly died. A couple of heroes stepped in to create a second generation, but it's just too hard to continually compete with a multi-billion dollar company. No idea how OEIS is involved. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

There's Mathics, a subset of the language implemented in Python, but unfortunately after the main author of that was hired by Wolfram, the project seems to have basically died. Still fun for what it is. https://mathics.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
