ante VS Azula

Have you had a look at Ante? It looks a lot like a Rust 2.0 with better ergonomics. There are a lot of interesting ideas.

Ante is what you are looking for. It's an ML descendant with no RTS nor AGC.

In my experience, people believe that programming languages are a solved space, and we should stick with what we have.

It's unfortunate; because languages are very polarized today. I think there's a lot of room for languages that are safe, fast, and most importantly, *easy.* Today's languages are generally two out of three.

Luckily, a lot of languages are exploring that space!

* Vale is blending generational references with regions, to have memory-safe single ownership without garbage collection or a borrow checker. [0]

* Cone is adding a borrow checker on top of GC, RC, single ownership, and even custom user allocators. [1]

* Lobster found a way to add borrow-checker-like static analysis to reference counting. [2]

* HVM is using borrowing and cloning under the hood to make pure functional programming ridiculously fast. [3]

* Ante is using lifetime inference and algebraic effects to make programs faster and more flexible. [4]

* D is adding a borrow checker!

I’m trying to enable JIT in Play! emulator using Azula to patch the .ipa with TrollStoreJitEnabler, but it gives an error: “couldn’t copy dylib to workspace”. Azula is a mobile clone of Azule that should work on jailed devices (but it doesn’t atm), can someone jailbroken or with a Mac please try to patch it with Azule instead?

Hopefully this will be useful to someone. If you find any bugs or have suggestions for an improvement, lmk on my GitHub (which is also the download and source code) or in the comments ^^
