  1. nature

    The Nature Programming Language

    I am the author of the nature programming language. You can find code examples and a playground to try it out on the official website at https://nature-lang.org I would appreciate your feedback.

  3. zig

    General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

    Zig solved this by not having a string type at all and not shipping full Unicode support in std: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/234#issuecomment-27630....

  4. v

    Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing maintainable software. Compiles itself in <1s with zero library dependencies. Supports automatic C => V translation. https://vlang.io

    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.
