Introducing Helix. Rust + Ruby, Without The Glue.
-
There's a lot to love about Ruby – the sweet syntax, the focus on developer productivity and happiness, the mature ecosystem, and of course, the awesome community we built around the language. One thing that Ruby is not known for though, is being a particularly fast language.

I think you posted with the wrong title. It should be: "Introducing Helix. Rust + Ruby, Without The Glue."

I did. I fixed it on the newsletter, just not here. I fix.
Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

I refuse to work in a programming language that provides something as nasty as
method_missingand has a triple===operator. MarcImperative to Functional Programming Succinctly Contributors Wanted for Higher Order Programming Project! Learning to code with python is like learning to swim with those little arm floaties. It gives you undeserved confidence and will eventually drown you. - DangerBunny

That's what you get with "dynamic" languages. So, I guess you'd not like Python, JavaScript, etc.. either. BTW, you'd get a version of this behavior when using reflection in C# and Java and other reflective languages.

Nah. At least there is no triple equal operator.

Yup. If the member you're looking up doesn't exist you get null. If you try to use it, then NullReferenceException. You also get this sort of behavior when using C#'s dynamic. I agree Ruby's === is assinine. Logical NOT? Why not just != like every other language. WTF?

Stick to C#. That's all I can say for now.

!= is pretty well limited to C-style languages. VB has <>, as does SQL and Pascal. Haskell uses /= (which kind of matches the mathematical operator, indeed Haskell supports ≠ directly). Smalltalk uses ~=. There's quite a wide variety. Get out more ;-)

I'm aware. Just that === is more like the mathematical equivalent, not "logical not". :rolleyes:
