• Killed by Google

  2,301 2,345 6.9 TypeScript

  Part guillotine, part graveyard for Google's doomed apps, services, and hardware.

Rob Pike is 66 and the average male life expectancy in America is 76 years. Of course I wish him to live happily for many more years, but it would be presumptuous to expect him to work on Go for the rest of his life.

But although google has killed 264 projects so far [1], I believe that Go has too many dependents at Google and in industry to cancel. And even if it should happen anyway, the community will fork it.

I agree, and much easier than Rust to get going and then some. Other than playing with Nannou in Rust to 'get' the language, and the Rust book, I started a toy game in Zig without more than the skeleton put together here:

https://github.com/michal-z/zig-gamedev

I like Raylib, and there are bindings for most popular languages, but I like the minimalism I can start with fairly quickly in Zig. I tried Bevy for Rust, but it is a lot more involved, and Rust, so Zig it is for now.

For safety, and high-integrity software, I am sticking with SPARK2014. Rust will get there soon, but Ada/SPARK2014 have such a lead, maturity, and industry take up that I am putting Rust down for another year or more.

  21 1,802 9.2 V

  Vinix is an effort to write a modern, fast, and useful operating system in the V programming language

  

It's a great concept, but languages like Rust (https://www.rust-lang.org/), Zig (https://ziglang.org), Vlang (https://vlang.io/), etc... are already running with a similar idea to being easy to interact with C and are viable alternatives to it as well. Vlang even created its own OS, Vinix (https://github.com/vlang/vinix), to show its capabilities in this regard.

Seems to me, Cello would be more for those C programmers that didn't want to try the various alternative languages that are now out, and happen to agree with its developer's interpretation of what high level constructs would look like. The point of these alternative languages is to offer features that C doesn't have or to implement them in easier or clearer ways.
