mostly-adequate-guide VS Nim

This project might serve as inspiration: https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide

i like reading this book directly from github with dark mode, also the subheading don't work in the gitbook website and gitbook is abandoned, here's the github link: https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide/blob/master/SUMMARY.md

It’s been a while since I focused on FP, but I recall finding this useful quite often and gleaning the concepts from it relatively easily.

I found a lot of articles like the OP, and ultimately they left me confused about the benefits in the beginning. I found it more useful to avoid one off articles and dig into larger pieces of work where the author put in much more care.

On the book front, there are two that I am fond of which have a focus on JavaScript and FP, Professor Frisby’s Mostly Adaquate Guide, and Functional Light JavaScript. They are nice practical books that help you lean into JS’s strength as an FP language while writing real code.

So, this is going to be an uphill battle for you. I suggest you actually learn Haskell first, and then you'll be able to apply its lessons to TypeScript.

Its tricky because these are patterns that are familiar in Haskell but are not really taught in other settings.

Additionally, to really learn these, you need to experiment with them. Use them. etc. That's pretty hard to do if the learning resources are mostly in haskell and you don't really understand it.

Alternatively, this might help: https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide

Also alternatively, what I would do is just go slowly through the fp-ts code. Look at it a piece at a time and slowly grow your understanding.

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.
