Hello!

This is the current Lemmy equivalent of https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/.

The content and rules are the same here as they are over there. Taken directly from the /r/ProgrammingLanguages overview:

This community is dedicated to the theory, design and implementation of programming languages.

Be nice to each other. Flame wars and rants are not welcomed. Please also put some effort into your post.

This isn't the right place to ask questions such as "What language should I use for X", "what language should I learn", and "what's your favorite language". Such questions should be posted in /c/learn_programming or /c/programming.

This is the right place for posts like the following:

See /r/ProgrammingLanguages for specific examples

The language itself: https://crystal-lang.org/. Crystal is heavily inspired by Ruby but with static typing and native compilation (via LLVM). To make up for not being dynamic like Ruby, it has powerful global type inference, meaning you're almost never required to explicitly specify types. The linked "Notes on..." page gives much more details.
