What would make you try a new language?

• futhark

  52 2,291 9.8 Haskell

  :boom::computer::boom: A data-parallel functional programming language

  

Have you looked at Futhark?

• Co-dfns

  19 643 9.6 APL

  High-performance, Reliable, and Parallel APL

  

You might be familiar with iKe (grahics), SpecialK (GLSL) and Co-dfns. Also, I am working on bastardized APL for GPU – Fluent. Fluent 1 had backend implemented through Apple Metal Performance Shaders Graph and Fluent 2 has TensorFlowJS backend for now. I care more about having auto differentiation in the lang than running on GPU and do graphics, to be honest.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• rust

  2,682 92,831 10.0 Rust

  Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  

The "Why Rust" section just under that slogan makes it clear enough what sort of language it is and whether it might suit your needs. It can't be done in a headline ... https://www.rust-lang.org/

• Halide

  43 5,703 9.5 C++

  a language for fast, portable data-parallel computation

  

If we drop the "APL" requirement, wouldn't Halide fit your criteria for the third?

• noda

  1 5 4.3

  An Array-Oriented, OOP, FP, and Logical Programming Language for Concise Pseudocode-like Scalability

• cppfront

  85 5,094 9.6 C++

  A personal experimental C++ Syntax 2 -> Syntax 1 compiler

As for points 2-4: You may want to check out Herb Sutter's Cpp2. Other than having a different syntax, a big design philosophy was "safety by default" iirc, so it does a lot of what you're asking for. It doesn't "hide" any features as far as I know, though. It is basically just a wrapper language that compiles to and interacts with regular C++ code seamlessly.

• nameless-language

  1 11 0.0 ReScript

A VPL like Nameless.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• lobster

  37 2,135 9.4 C++

  The Lobster Programming Language

Also, can I introduce you to https://strlen.com/lobster/, a garbage collected language made for game development by (and primarily for) the one and only Wouter "aardappel" van Oortmerssen?
