I like to introduce you to matrix spaces for two languages, one is old and mature, and the other is new, effective, and promising.

Hare is interesting.

We have a community for it on this instance, here. But it’s currently dead and unmoderated.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !hare@programming.dev

It does look interesting—because it is boring—as one of the blog entries talks about. :)

The goal seems to be stability and simplicity. A language with few features that remains mostly unchanged for the long term, to write simpler programs that can be counted on to do what they’re supposed to for the long term.

I like it. I will have to give this a whirl.

Sorry for the silly question. What will you use hare for?

My first thought is various utilities on my Linux systems.

Would you mind linking communities like so in the future please?

Hare has an IRC official channel, but not all have IRC and want to use it. I think that using matrix space/rooms can add life to the Hare community.

Hare seems interesting, but does it allow any kind of dynamic linkage? I just compiled a simple Hello World program, and its size is 217 kb - after stripping.

$ cat test.ha
use fmt;

export fn main() void = {
        fmt::println("Hello world!")!;
};

$ file test
test: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
$ ls -lhn test
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1000 1000 217K Feb 27 18:03 test

You can ask about it on the official IRC channel. The creator of the Hare is based there.
