> 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 / 3 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. Unlike Go, it has sum types, enums, immutable-by-default variables, option/result types, various other goodies and the syntax for for loops actually makes sense. It’s a shame that the compiler is quite buggy, but hopefully that’s going to improve. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
Mantis is a type-safe web framework written in V that emphasizes explicit, magic-free code. - Source: dev.to / 6 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 / 6 months ago
What is quite interesting (after looking at their documentation), is that V lang[1] has all that is mentioned: `?`[2], `or`[2], sum types[4], and can return multiple values[5].

It doesn't grow from cons cells, which some people think is crucial for an authentic Lisp. They also tend to exclude Clojure. I think maybe the Janet designers don't want to get bogged down in the language wars, and don't really care whether lispers enjoy their language or not. A language with Lisp in the name and cons cells that a purist might argue isn't an authentic Lisp is Picolisp, e.g. Because it has FEXPR:s... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
Build your Apps in PicoLisp without an Android SDK "PilBox (`PicoLisp Box') is a generic Android App which allows to write Apps in pure PicoLisp, without touching Java, and without the need of an Android SDK. "You do not need to root your device. And - if you prefer - you do not need a separate development machine (PC or laptop): All can be done in a terminal on the device, and even in a Lisp REPL while the App is... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
A similar thing happened in 2011 when the picolisp project published a 'ticker', something like a markov chain generating pages on the fly. https://picolisp.com/wiki/?ticker It's a nice type of honeypot. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
I love(d) PicoLisp. I have run Windows, Linux (many flavors on many machines), and MacOS, but my working OS is Windows, and I could not get the x64 PicoLisp running on Windows back then without using Cygwin or MinGW. I can run it on WSL[1], however, it still requires a POSIX environment. Is there a way to compile a Windows binary without the POSIX required for a working PicoLisp environment? I know it switched to... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
