In case you guys like to take a quick look at new emerging,
but somewhat unknown systems programming languages:
* https://www.red-lang.org/ (own handwritten backend)
* https://crystal-lang.org/ (llvm-based backend)
* https://ziglang.org/ (llvm-based backend)
* http://nitlanguage.org/ (c-based backend?)
* https://www.xojo.com/ (llvm-based backend)
Funnily, none of these languages have a "static if" construct,
nor do Rust, Swift and Nim. Not one that I could find, anyway.
Zig has implicit static if:
test "static if" {
if (false) {
@compileError("this is never analyzed");
}
}
$ zig test test.zig
Test 1/1 static if...OK
test "static if" {
if (true) {
@compileError("this is analyzed");
}
}
$ zig test test.zig
test.zig:3:9: error: this is analyzed
@compileError("this is analyzed");
