Off topic? That's already been established, in a thread about what scripting lannguage to use for Devuan. The conclusion there we use whatever the scripts were already written in on Debian, rather than rewriting everything. But I think it is still useful to point out excellent, little-known languages that might make programming a lot more reliable yet still efficient. There aren't many of those, and some of the best are not well known. I'd still recommend Modula 3 (except for its bulky syntax) and ocaml (on a machine where it runs as native code). And I think Styx (used in the Inferno project, a successor to plan 9) is worth a mention, though I have no experiennce with it. And would you mind posting in straight Unicode, or even ASCII, but without HTML tags? -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
