New language promises to reduce compilation times by using all threads and gpu cores available on your machine. What’s your opinions on it so far?

    Why is it fashionable to hate curly braces - I think readability is much better served with explicit block closing tags…

    And why do we hate type declarations? I don’t mind being able to omit type declarations, it’s handy for quick and dirty stuff - but strict type checking is a powerful tool… so much so that PHP has put a lot of effort into adding it after the fact.

      tbh i have no problem with curly brackets either. even though my first language was freebasic (!), i have worked more with curly bracket languages and actually find them quite useful, if not powerful.
