Do Linus & co. have to put label on something to qualify as system-programming language? Here is something interesting: http://tommd.wordpress.com/2009/09/13/kernel-modules-in-haskell/ Otoh, I also do not believe that every VCS written in C must be ala (whatever means) Git - Fossil (http://fossil-scm.org) is one nice example. For me, D looks as the most-promising general programming language having good-enough performance and being safe-enough - iow. sweet spot: C(++) <--- D ---> Haskell. And yes, I believe there is still space for desktop (aka non-web) apps. ;) Sincerely, Gour -- Gour | Hlapicina, Croatia | GPG key: CDBF17CA ----------------------------------------------------------------
