Ask HN: Can you help me remember the name of a programming language?

2 points·DangitBobby··17 comments

I encountered this programming language nearly a year ago that was fairly new at the time. I have been doing web searches for new or emerging languages and looking through lists of known languages to no avail. The only thing I remember about it is that it was supposed to be like Go without some of the aspects of Go that the author hated. I want to say the name started with a "D".

Okay, lone_haxx0r mentioned it. Odin. I was slightly off on the back-story, they made it because they were fed up with C++ and didn't want to just extend C. I guess the assessment of "Go without some of the aspects of Go that the author hated" was just projection on my part. Anyway, here's a link to the website if anyone is interested.

Crystal perhaps? Crystal Language: https://crystal-lang.org/reference/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages#...

Was it one of the above in the Wikipedia list?

I read the list and did not see anything that jogged my memory.

Sarcasm aside, was it D? See https://dlang.org

I don't think so. If IIRC, it had the `:=` assignment operator for type inference.

That's a negative. Thanks though.
