  • Carp

    A statically typed lisp, without a GC, for real-time applications.

  • They have documentation about that: https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp/blob/master/docs/Memory.md

    It's interesting to see it's implemented in Haskell, looks like Clojure, has certain Rust-like semantics, and compiles to C. Quite an eclectic mix of languages going on here. Quite unusual that they don't mention anything about concurrency anywhere. The docs do say that there's a fork function, but there's no real information. Maybe the expectation is for developers to use C concurrency primitives?
