The OP obviously has an existing agenda, and an extreme bias. It does not read like objective critique, and the tone is over confident, to put it mildly. > Claiming that one is required to have practical experience in a technology in > order to judge it is simply a gatekeeping because if I chang

First of all, thanks to everyone who put their time into reading my article(s). 🙏 ### On Experience I by no means pretend to be a person having deep knowledge in **any** programming language, nor programming concepts in general. I do not have a PhD in computer science nor did I commit a single

Hi, congratulations for the passion and the efforts you are putting into this! I wish you best of luck in this ambitious project of creating a new programming language and at the same time trying to get open source sustainability out of that. I am sure there will be plenty of opportunities for g

It's very hard to take the article seriously due to the deliberate misspellings, memes and introducing pop art in a technical culture. There is a line between the ice-breaker and and overdoing it and unfortunately this article is too much on the other side. Now let's address your points Beside

That's an unnecessary rude and xenophobic comment on your part. Everyone looking at the blog post can find for themselves that the author is a bit immature and probably not competent enough to deliver.

Sorry, but your attempt to look cool and smart utterly failed. I'd like to counter some of you blab^H^H^H^H elaborations but there is not even a clear line nor does your "thinking" carry the weight to deserve it. As for your language Onyx (btw. do you call everything you do "Onyx"?) I'm acutely

An ambitious project, but had you seen this? ) There is already a language called Onyx. It's over 120 years since H.G. Wells published the War of the Worlds about a Martian invasion, so people did imagine all sorts of things 100 years ago, a

I worked a very long time on ROO systems and not OO or OOP, RelationalObjeObjet, so far in Nim I find my account, I have also worked with C / C ++, and I reconsidered the choice of orientation on a language which would be coherent, and respecting security (by omitting the hackers) allowing me to

> not see the real objective criticism on Nim Are you sure about that? I even put links into the bullet list describing why Nim is not the best choice for **real** system programming.

System Programming in 2k20

in conclusion all this is to sell ONYX, why not but I do not see the real objective criticism on Nim, and the party taken against Rust, is in my opinion only to enhance the option of going on ONYX !!

be glad to hear your thoughts on this matter, or just have a good laugh on how monstrous C++ and Rust are. Enjoy: <https://vladfaust.com/posts/2020-08-16-system-programming-in-2k20>
