Bye-bye

ruby-talk

Let me say good-bye to the list: "Bye, I’ll leave you in two days."
Yes, I’m one of these machines, who can’t leave without noise.

It was a nice time here and with ruby and with my diploma and with all the
virus mails (from which I read noone)

Now It’s time for me to go to the next “new” language.
Can you give me a suggestion? I had a look on

Haskel – as a pure functional language
Self – as a prototype OO-lang
Ocaml – as a popular oo+func-language
D – as a ++C++
abc – as the predecessor to Python and tuhs Ruby
APL – as a confuse^3 language which “noone but me understands”
??? – as your recomendation

mats: You’ll read this another 100 times, but your language is just sexy,
clean and elegant. And it allows quite a lott. It’ll be still used for
everydays problems.
Maybe You’ll find a way to an optional type system. If you one time used
eclipse+java you’ll miss it’s help-features (which are based on java’s
static type system)

Haskel – as a pure functional language

Concurrent Clean, pure functional like Haskell, but without monads (they use
uniqueness instead). Very fast code. They also have a very nice proof-tool
Sparkle and an IDE.

Self – as a prototype OO-lang
Ocaml – as a popular oo+func-language
D – as a ++C++

Cyclone: mixes C syntax, functional programming and different memory management
techniques (GC, regions, untraced).

abc – as the predecessor to Python and tuhs Ruby
APL – as a confuse^3 language which “noone but me understands”

There’s an open source, more or less APL variant called A+ (www.aplusdev.org).
Otherwise, K is a very confusing language, too.

??? – as your recomendation

Eiffel/Sather

Mozart/Oz: Multiparadigm language (OO, fun, constraint,
concurrent/distributed). It’s OO syntax is very close to Ruby, btw.

Michael

Have you looked at Joy or Icon? Both cool languages.

Try Smalltalk and ANSI Common Lisp if you haven’t.

Forth is very nice, as is Postscript. And you might want to try either
Erlang or Prolog.

OCaml - functional
Mercury - for logic programming
Oz - everything you want it to be(?)
