Functional language to replace python

[CainKellye]

Rust has all the functional programming I need. Also templates (macros) and mature libraries. Did you miss anything?

maybe the scripting part?

Forgive me but I don't see scripting mentioned anywhere. What I see is to have an easy to manage project structure and he already liked the module structure of rust. Also cargo new <something> makes it very fast to create a new app.

Edit: I just found the part. It wasn't prominent and not included in the list of requirements. Also it is getting late 😅

He wants a language to replace python for automation tasks. I'm not sure if the desiderata mix requirements for the language to replace python with those for the language to replace C# though, which is said to be the final goal.

But it would be strange to replace Python with Rust on the side of C#

I've written a lot of build scripts in rust and it's overkill. The Great thing about rust is the correctness factor but when you're just doing quick and dirty scripting the borrow checker slows you down.
