Julia and Haskell being both interpreted and compiled languages is truly the coolest thing I've seen in the language development worldI don't know if any of them compel me enough though, I don't feel anything in particular about Julia and I'm worried Haskell has too much of a learning curve (more than Rust, for sure) and that it's lacking libraries/tools for some tasks

@espectalll haskells a bit hard to get into, especially if it’s your first experience with functional programming. i never saw the need to learn julia since i already know lua and python and they can do everything i need in a scripting language

I really enjoy Rust, but you can't have only AOT compiled software, scripts are still essential for many tasks and will keep being so. But Haskell doesn't seem really fitting for scripting either because of its learning curve. And Julia seems to be in a sweet spot but I'm worried is a mess on its inner specs and implementation, and it doesn't seem fancy nor with a solid set of libraries either.

@taiz yeah, I know, see this toot https://mstdn.io/@espectalll/100740778172375037but I don't know how to feel about Julia tbh

@espectalll I'm trying Julia right now (I come from Matlab) and even if I'm enjoying it, it's true that right now is a bit of a mess, specially the docs. I hope it gets better soon!

@ondiz I don't mind the docs so much, as I come from bigger messes and I already began with Julia back when it was at 0.4! I'm rather worried about the inner tech, how it may age and so on

@espectalll About the inners I have no idea 😀 Now I'm worried as well because I thought of it as a definitive way to finally ditch Matlab

@espectalll I don't think a Rust interpreter would be practical. With all the borrow-checking and other compile-time verifications the compiler is already slow. Trying to run all that JIT would cause worse startup lag than the JVM.Though there are a few Rust-inspired scripting languages you could use.https://github.com/gluon-lang/gluon

@rushsteve1 Reminder that a Rust interpreter was once a thing but the Rust team killed it off https://github.com/murarth/rusti
