I started learning Rust for my personal programming but found the borrow-checker to be a bit oppressive. I've embraced Zig as a modern systems language that is more C-like. I would have chosen it for XyScript, but it's still in active development, with v1.0 still a ways off. I think Rust will prove to be a solid choice. > > > Does your colleague have a sense of which direction they're going > > on the scripting side? > > It will be an updated version of XPL, as in QuickNotes, but even more powerful. I will probably also add Lua or something similar as an alternative scripting option, and perhaps other programming capabilities as well. All in good time. > > -- > Carl Distefano > cld@xxxxxxxxxx > |
