There are a few functional programming languages that match those three features. Obviously Rust is intended to be one. There's also ATS, Haskell and O'Caml amongst others. I'm sure there are reasons other than those three features for the development going forward on Rust. Developing one's own language at least allows addressing the question of what a language designed specifically for writing applications like web browsers would be like. -- http;//www.bluishcoder.co.nz _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
