Which language you wish would really grow and reach mainstream adoption?

Assume mainstream adoption as used by around 7% of all github projects

Personally, I'd like to see Nim get that growth.

  • Some fun stack-based concatenative language (like Forth or Min) :3 I like playing with odd/new-to-me things that change how I have to approach things in some way. ... Also I wanna find a Forth community I can stand 😅 That or maybe a similar low-level language, I suppose. I was thinking of using it for a project but... eegh. Bleh. Et cetera. Still might, but purely on my own terms I guess.

    Also, more Haskell please >:3 Or something else like it. We must spread the glory of FP nerdery @.@ ...And maybe get some more useful (and maintained) packages to work with instead of just kinda having to wonder what even builds any more v.v

    • If you like Haskell but desire better tooling, you might consider checking out Lean4.

    • There are some concatenative-related discord links in the sidebar of https://programming.dev/c/concatenative you may or may not be able to stand.

      Anyway answering the main post: Factor (stack/concatenative), Nim, Roc, Zsh

      • Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !concatenative@programming.dev

      • Interesting commagazine! ... I don't seem to be able to get to it through kbin :( Am already digging around in there, though, so thanks for the tip :3

        • Sorry I don't know how to kbin yet. Maybe the link provided by the bot that replied to me is better?

          Are there any concatenative/stack/Factor kbin magazines you know of?

          • I don't even see the bot from here. Bleeeeeh maybe I just need to give up and jump ship to a Lemmy instance 😅 Is not your fault, of course.

            I don't think I'd encountered any such commagazines (why'd they have to be named both?!) and that's why I was excited to learn about the one you mentioned. I've already started peeking around in there and finding some interesting tidbits :3
