On: The search for easier safe systems programming

I think that's what they are trying to achieve with Mojo.

[sa-code → farresito]

Agreed, although the language still feels like a tech demo. They don't even have a package manager yet. I'm curious and hopeful to see what it looks like in a year

[mirekrusin → sa-code]

They don't yet have `class` support.

[sa-code → mirekrusin]

They have their own version called struct which works in a very similar way. I feel like this should be mentioned when saying that `class` support didn't yet exist

[mirekrusin → sa-code]

Yes, you're right and struct is _the_ interesting part about mojo and is enough to write interesting things in it.

Floodgates will open though once class is also supported.

Posted this Chris Lattner interview about Mojo to HN yesterday. The video is just 6 days old. It's on the Developer Voices channel.
