00:02 pdurbin prologic: any opinion on that article? you reminded me of it at http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2015-03-08#i_10244200
00:04 prologic yeah I like it
00:04 prologic good example of a real world case
00:10 pdurbin me too
00:31 prologic Do you happen to know of any other good systems programming languages?
00:31 prologic Other than C/C++/Go
00:31 prologic And tbqh I'm really tempted to stop calling Go a systems programmign langauge
00:31 prologic because of it's awful tendency to become huge bloated binaries once compiled
00:33 sivoais Rust, D, ATS, OCaml?
00:34 sivoais Vala, Mercury... both compile down to C
00:37 sivoais don't know if you want to get obscure :-P
00:38 sivoais <http://finalterm.org/> is written in Vala
00:39 pdurbin OCaml is interesting, as is http://openmirage.org
00:40 pdurbin I don't have much experience in any of these languages though. :/
00:42 sivoais me neither (kept on typing neighther... what's wrong with me...)
00:42 sivoais I've only read examples on Rosetta Code
00:48 pdurbin prologic: what if someone writes an operating system in Go. Would it qualify as a systems programming language then? :)
00:49 prologic yeah me neither
00:49 prologic I have some experience in C, Pascal and Assembly
00:49 prologic years ago
00:49 prologic I do more C now because of *duino stuff
00:49 prologic but yeah
00:49 prologic pdurbin> prologic: what if someone writes an operating system in Go. Would it qualify as a systems programming language then? :)
00:49 prologic [10:48:51] <prologic> yeah me neither <-- haha
00:49 prologic for *that* system perhaps
00:49 prologic :)
00:50 pdurbin :)
00:53 pdurbin I guess I like the idea that Go has a lot of batteries included.
00:53 pdurbin And I guess I'm not too bothered by somewhat large binaries.
00:55 prologic sure batteries included are nice
00:55 prologic but it actually produces larger binaries than a bundled python app
00:55 prologic seriously
00:55 prologic that's just not right :)
01:15 pdurbin oh. Erlang. duh. good for systems programming. and an inspiration for Go
01:20 sivoais eep. As someone who has programmed quite a bit in Prolog, writing Erlang requires me to pause to remember that it doesn't backtrack
01:20 sivoais the syntax is too similar ;-)
01:30 pdurbin sivoais: have you looked at Elixir at all?
01:31 sivoais nothing beyond the description
01:38 sivoais looks like Erlang:Elixir :: Java:Groovy :-)
01:40 pdurbin more or less
