crystal VS v

Did you ever see Crystal? It's more or less a typed Ruby. I've heard that you can port some code directly.

https://crystal-lang.org/

If you like the Ruby syntax (but want a statically typed language), you might want to take a look at Crystal: https://crystal-lang.org/

> Crystal is statically typed and type errors are caught early by the compiler, eliminating a range of type-related errors at runtime.

I really enjoyed using Crystal last year. It is a very ergonomic language with a featureful standard library. I was tempted to use it again this year, but I figured I should use this opportunity to try something new. After considering several languages including Go, F#, Nim, and Raku, I decided to go with Gleam.

Dir module works fine, though maybe the docs could be improved. https://crystal-lang.org/api/1.13.3/Dir.html . The stdlib code is also highly readable: https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/blob/d14d04562/src/d... shows that #each_child just calls #read and yields it to the block, so I don't think this is really a wart :)

vlang is a Golang-like programming language. I will use vlang as an example,

v has the same syntax as golang and is derived from it. But otherwise, v is moving closer to rust, with immutability, bounds checking, and so on.

Here's a discussion of vlang's implementation of coroutine https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions/11582 Until recently, vlang has not supported coroutines very well

The syntax of nature is different from golang. But everything else is the same as golang, including goroutine, GC, channel, cross-compilation and deployment, and even free programming ideas, less is more, and so on.

I think these features are the best thing about golang, even in front of all programming languages. That's why I'm trying to see if I can create a better golang.

In the early stages of availability, I would not advise others to switch to nature, as this would be irresponsible. When nature is sufficiently advanced, the situation will be different.

Another language with such features, including sumtypes, is V (Vlang)[1].

We recently migrated from YAML CI to VSH as well:

https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/ci/linux_ci.vsh

Zig is also not the only language that has interesting compile-time features. V (Vlang)[1] and D (Dlang) (among others), has them too. It's kind of weird that this is promoted so much with Zig, as if other languages don't have a lot of this.
