Myrddin is a systems programming language that covers a similar niche
|
|
as C including desktop, OS, and embedded development, but at the same
|
|
time making it harder to shoot yourself in the foot.
|
|
|
|
It is designed to be a simple language that runs close to the metal,
|
|
giving the programmer predictable and transparent behavior and mental
|
|
model. It also does strong type checking, generics, type inference,
|
|
closures, and traits.
|
|
|
|
Myrddin is not a language designed to explore the forefront of type
|
|
theory or compiler technology. It is not a language that is focused
|
|
on guaranteeing perfect safety. It is satisfied to be a practical,
|
|
small, fairly well defined, and easy to understand language for code
|
|
that needs to be close to the hardware.
