The programming language I want
Raw
the-programming-language-i-want.md
  • statically-typed
  • strongly-typed
  • only one way to do one thing
  • no "syntax shortcuts" (cryptic operators, etc.)
  • immutability (value "classes", collections)
  • pattern matching
  • higher-order functions
  • readable syntax (lisp-case a.k.a. kebab-case indentifiers, do...end, def, etc.)
  • no need for an IDE
  • native binaries (optionally statically-linked)
  • REPL
