  • Six programming languages Iโ€™d like to see

    The interesting semantic relationships are those that let the machine automatically deduce optimizations

    > I also like the idea of modifying function definitions at runtime. I have these visions/nightmares of programs that take other programs as input and then let me run experiments on how the program behaves under certain changes to the source code. I want to write metaprograms dammit

    Lotta metaprogramming in Joy. Many functions work by building new functions and running them, it's a natural idiom in Joy.

    > A language designed around having first-class GUI support

    Red? ( https://www.red-lang.org/ )

    > Visual Interface Dialect ... is a dialect of Red, providing the simplest possible way to specify graphic components with their properties, layouts and even event handlers. VID code is compiled at runtime to a tree of faces suitable for displaying.

    > You canโ€™t work with strings, json, sets, or hash maps very well, date manipulation is terrible, you can barely do combinatorics problems, etc etc etc. I want a language thatโ€™s terse for everything.

    That also sounds like Red.

  • Beads: The next generation computer language and toolchain
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 May 2021
    > They are well funded.

    Rebol Technologies went bankrupt, and Rebol is de-facto dead since more than a decade; Red barely manages to get by thanks to a recent crypto spike.

    > I would say the languages are very different in the sense that Beads is clearly aimed at graphical interactive software.

    So is Red with it's native GUI engine. [1]

    > They are so different that it is hard to compare.

    Both share the same goal of replacing modern software practices with biased, batteries-included toolchain, varying only in implementation.

    > Red being a concatenative language has more in common with FORTH than Algol.

    Red is not concatenative in any sense of the word, nor any other language in Rebol family that I know of.

  • One Way to Represent Things

    > What if a simpler programming language had first-class representations of a lot more than strings and arrays?

    Red lang?

    > Where most languages have 6-8 base datatypes, Red has almost 50.
