I hadn't heard of this one before -- apparently its from Python people. Soundss nice! "Some of these motivations are: * The desire for a language that would combine the simplicity and readability of Python with the power of static typing and template metapgrogramming, as well as modern language features such as closures and generic functions. * The desire for a compiler that compiles to highly efficient native code instead of a VM. * The desire for a language which would fulfill the same role as C++, but designed from scratch with the benefit of hindsight. * The desire for a language which would fulfill the same role as Java, but more concise and requiring less verbose boilerplate." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

Is there a provision for types that are dynamically bound, or is it all strongly-typed? - Cristo

I wonder if the the nullable? feature is just as much as PITA as const in C++. - Gary Burd

oh i was thinking how could i have liked it when i haven't even read it in recent times, good work http://friendfeed.com/jimminy - ffcode

oh, R is going to like this, he's all for strongly typed languages. has it got aspects? - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Gary: My experience with C# makes me suspect that explicitly nullable references are going to be the occasional annoyance, not the plague of C++'s const. - Gabe

what is going on? a new language every week! there would not be enough computers in this world to run all these languages - Tzury Bar Yochay

Still reinventing the wheel, are we? This really puzzles me to no end..why do they think they need to create more 3rd generation programming languages like Google Go & now this "Tart" thing, when what we really need are everyday useful 4GL and 5GL languages/systems/frameworks that would really move us forward. If we keep things going the way these guys are, THE MACHINES WIN.. - Alex Schleber

Alex: What defines a 4GL or 5GL such that languages like Go, Tart, and C# don't qualify? - Gabe

Gabe, if your average C programmer isn't confused by them, they don't qualify as 4GL or 5GL languages. ;) - Cristo

Looks interesting. I tried to find this "Talin" person and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... As fascinating as proteins are, I don't think an individual one is up to creating a programming language. :-) - Ruchira S. Datta
