So we have like Rust, maybe Gleam and maybe Elixir, Julia, maybe Racket? Zig possibly maybe but it feels hard to make a call there yet on quality... I can't really say many of the ML family of languages went anywhere (as much as I love and wish we'd see more dependent and linearly typed MLs).

⛈️ Information ⛈️ (elucidating@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 01-Aug-2024 01:52:12 JST ⛈️ Information ⛈️ There's almost no exciting programming languages with good communities these days and it's sad.
We have lots of formerly good options where the community has gone really sour (e.g., Clojure and Scala). We have options where the community seems fine but the language is a total mess (E.g., Kotlin, Swift). We've got a bunch of legacy contenders that can't really modernize (e.g., C++). We have languages that both have difficult communities and the language isn't very good (Go).
