Yeah, it's like they looked at Go and said, "You know what the real problem was with the lack of generics in Go? They made an exception for lists and maps!"
!hare@programming.dev
Why?
The description doesn't really say what it does differently. Which I assume is the reason someone would create a language. How does it differ from C etc.?
They were angry at Go so they made it worse and incompatible with Windows or macOS. Perfect!
Looks like that’s answered in the docs: https://harelang.org/documentation/faq.html
have no package manager and encourage less code reuse as a shared value
Also, its main goal is understandability, but some stdlib is written in assembly. I mean, this looks like a nice but very niche language, for some small endeavours maybe?
I suppose hare may be nice in environments where the entire tool-chain needs to be audited.
Besides vibe I don't really understand what niche it fills but, I'm not that smart. Syntax looks cool tho
Yeah, I can totally see pet projects done with this, it would be relatively simple to understand by others, and you can get to know your project through and through.
