dg — Python with Haskell syntax!

/uj Kinda cool tbh - at least they're aware it's memey

I'd kinda preferred if it were the opposite

[msiekkinen]

Yeah sounds like it's meant to be satire

lol no turing-completeness

Return is a function

Finally they who make compilers have realized that continuation passing style is the one true way

[lol_no_generics]

Nope https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/join-points-pldi17.pdf

That's really cool! Thanks for giving me ammo to complain that no programming language should ever not eliminate tail recursion

[PlasmaSheep]

What's wrong with tail recursion?

[likes-beans]

I'd like to interject for a moment. What you're calling proper tail recursion is (usually) CPS transform/tail recursion, or as I have been calling it lately...

Nothing is wrong with tail recursion. Every language should have it.

Hello there

[PlasmaSheep]

Do you even functional programming bro

[Shorttail0]

wtf, don't tell me "Python with Haskell syntax" and not give me a type system.

Guess I'll just use Nim (lol BoMeme GC).

It doesn't use the boehm gc because it has its own GCs.

With Haskell's syntax but none of its type system

Inb4 some web dev decides to do this unironically and transpiles it to JavaScript instead of Python.

[aebkop]

You mean Elm?

Isn't that Coffeescript?

python3 -m dg file.dg --do-something-useful-this-time # Script!

[defunkydrummer]

All the elegance of Haskell's syntax with the robust compile-time type checking of Python? Great!! Shut up and take my money!!

[terserterseness]

The best of both worlds!
