Just glanced at the discussion on LtU http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4009, I wonder if the C++ hackers have swallowed, and if they are hearding them onto Haskell?
Quite, but I generally use as a way to gauge "language innovation" relevance. It looks like the lag time on getting into innovative programming principles into production languages is ~5 years. The discussion is quite interesting in laying out some of the practical issues with introducing PL research concepts into code that must support large products and large developer bases.
Yeah, seems good. I was just excited for a new discussion, then saw that it was from a while back, and given how much Rust has changed in the meantime, wanted to make sure others didn't think it was new.
