Re: The Lobster Programming Language
#93Did you create a VM that is several times faster than Python's, for a static typed language thats as productive as a dynamic language, with true multithreading? How did you outdo entire language communities?

#94Hi, author of the language here. Not a great time for HN exposure, as I just added a lot of new functionality, but none of that is documented yet :) But hey, all publicity is good publicity? For those interested, some recent things that have been happening: - Compile time reference counting. This does an analysis similar to the Rust borrow checker to infer lifetimes, but unlike Rust doesn't make the programmer jump t…

... unless it's an obituary :)

Re: The Lobster Programming Language
#95I really like the inclusion of basic graphics routines. Not a lot of languages include these out of the box and it's something I've really missed since I first started toying with programming in QBasic.
Re: The Lobster Programming Language
#96Really stupid question here, but how do I start compiling Lobster programs on my machine (Windows or Linux)?
Re: The Lobster Programming Language
#97Oh this looks rather nice.
I'll have to take a look at this.

#98Yeah, cool Google+ community.

On first look, the language seems superficially similar to Nim. Which, per se, is certainly a plus in my book! ...but makes it somewhat difficult to understand when should I pick one or the other. Could you point out some important differentiators? (Apart from the current set of available libraries, which certainly make it appear more useful for the intended target audience at this very moment AFAIU, but in longer perspective are potentially somewhat secondary.)

That's a very low bar. It's just that Python programmers don't care about any of this. The productivity is already enough for them.
