StaticLint.jl VS Nim

Yes, tooling around this is being developed in the form of linters (e.g. https://github.com/julia-vscode/StaticLint.jl) and through real compiler integration tools like the very cool https://aviatesk.github.io/JET.jl/dev/ but this is definitely somewhere that the tooling in julia is weaker than in other languages. It seems to be picking up a lot of speed though.

It is correct if `A` is of type `Array` as normal Array in julia has 1-based indexing. It is incorrect if `A` is of some other type which subtypes `AbstractArray` as these may not follow 1-based indexing. But this case errors normally due to bounds checking. The OP talks about the case where even bounds checking is turned off using `@inbounds` for speed and thus silently giving wrong answers without giving an error.

An issue was created sometime ago in StaticLint.jl to fix this: https://github.com/julia-vscode/StaticLint.jl/issues/337

Statically lint = find errors in the Julia file like using variables that are not defined, and functions with the wrong arguments. For Julia, StaticLint.jl is an actively developed library that does static linting. It basically provides a bunch of functions that spit out errors in your Julia file like those that I mentioned above. If you are an Emacs editor user, this project is like a "convenience" which will run Julia silently in the background, and communicate with it to extract errors in the file that you currently have open. These errors are then highlighted in your editor view using the Flycheck package that is one of the ways to highlight errors in Emacs.

22. Nim - $80,000

I think the right answer to your question would be NimLang[0]. In reality, if you're seeking to use this in any enterprise context, you'd most likely want to select the subset of C++ that makes sense for you or just use C#.

[0]https://nim-lang.org/

I don't think it's a rust-inspired language, but since it has strong typing and compiles to javascript, did you give a look at nim [0] ?

For what it takes, I find the language very expressive without the verbosity in rust that reminds me java. And it is also very flexible.

I see a valid cert for https://nim-lang.org/

FYI, on the front page, https://nim-lang.org, in large type you have this:

> Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula.

You better off with using a compiled language.

If you interested in a language that's compiled, fast, but as easy and pleasant as Python - I'd recommend you take a look at [Nim](https://nim-lang.org).

And to prove what Nim's capable of - here's a cool repo with 100+ cli apps someone wrote in Nim: [c-blake/bu](https://github.com/c-blake/bu)

Chapel has at least several full-time developers at Cray/HPE and (I think) the US national labs, and has had some for almost two decades. That's much more than $100k.

Chapel is also just one of many other projects broadly interested in developing new programming languages for "high performance" programming. Out of that large field, Chapel is not especially related to the specific ideas or design goals of Mojo. Much more related are things like Codon (https://exaloop.io), and the metaprogramming models in Terra (https://terralang.org), Nim (https://nim-lang.org), and Zig (https://ziglang.org).

But Chapel is great! It has a lot of good ideas, especially for distributed-memory programming, which is its historical focus. It is more related to Legion (https://legion.stanford.edu, https://regent-lang.org), parallel & distributed Fortran, ZPL, etc.
