ante VS woo

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!

[Ante](https://antelang.org/): lifetime inference, refinement types, algebraic effects.

Can I ask you this though? Again, all I have in my file is what's under the "Start a server" section of the woo readme.

For example, let's look at this project: https://github.com/fukamachi/woo

One of the nice things about Common Lisp is that it also has the fastest web server: https://github.com/fukamachi/woo

Here you have a web server written in Chez Scheme: https://github.com/guenchi/Igropyr So you see that Lisp is very suitable for web applications. Another project that proves that Lisp is excellent for web servers is Woo: https://github.com/fukamachi/woo

I remember a long time ago when I checked out woo https://github.com/fukamachi/woo it still had the same warning "This software is still BETA quality." Is that really still the case? As of now, I'm seeing the last update was only 4 days ago, so it looks like it's been worked on relatively actively this whole time.
