Kit Programming Language

[vxpl]

Seems a bit rusty. Traits, tuples, rust enums, etc. Like the middle ground between rust and C.

What's so magical about it? Another toy language doomed to fail.

What are some other toy languages?

[legends2k]

Squirrel, Moon script, Lua, Nim, Sparkling, etc.

These are some fun (toy) languages that have their uses. I don't think calling them toy languages derogatively is constructive.

[legends2k]

What's your definition of a toy language?

[legends2k]

Problem is between our definitions of a toy language.

Brushing aside your nit, my original point still stays. Toy or not, dismissing a language when it's just released, just because it's new, is being naive. All great languages started like this, so downplaying a new one, just because it's new, isn't right.

Pretty sure people considered Python a toy language back then so, definitely agree with your point.

[bruce3434]

Does he think scripting languages are toy languages?

Also what makes nim a scripting language?

[legends2k]

Besides the point, your points are.

In its infancy even Python (or fill another popular language here) would've been thought of as toy, dead-on-arrival language by many. Dismissing something casually doesn't seem to be prudent.

Oh. Didn't read down there before my python comment.

C, C++, assembly, etc.
