I do understand your point, but then, the problem would have been solved: C, C++, Java (huge ecosystem, etc)...
I always try to do that, judge tools, and not languages. So language, specific compiler, libraries, frameworks, IDE, designer, component availability, the number of different applications (e.g . console/GUI/serverapp/embedded/mobile) etc. In short: fitness for purpose, here and now.I do understand your point, but then, the problem would have been solved: C, C++, Java (huge ecosystem, etc)...
Language discussions are pretty futile, get horribly abstract and subjective(e.g. which feature is considered "more" important?).
As, always, a very thorough reply. Thank you!
To the conversation now. Do I detect a "hate" against Rust?
Honestly, I think it is very complicated -even its syntax. I am not an IT person (trying languages just for pleasure and mental exercise),
but perhaps, persons like I are a kind of measure of "friendliness" of a tool. I might be wrong of course.
Currently, the missing element is the style configurator for the completion box. So I don't know if it makes sense to report it in bugtracker.
Just in these days I am doing something with 2 Modula-2 compilers.If you come across something for linux, except (gnu m2, which is ), I would appreciate a notification. It is a language a would like to give it a try.
Just in these days I am doing something with 2 Modula-2 compilers.On the other hand, Ruby, Python are consider friendlier for a reason... isn't it? What I am trying to say (again, I might be wrong)| those languages (and others, like Nim) are more easy to understand.
They once were commercial products, now released as free.
- XDS is free and opensource, , it's a compiler (only for Win), with good performance in my minimal tests; but it's also a transpiler to Ansi/C. It compile/translate also Oberon2 https://github.com/excelsior-oss/xds-2.60/
- ADW is free compiler with a decent IDE, and good help https://www.modula2.org/adwm2/
There is also a PascalABCNet, a Pascal compiler for Dotnet. Interesting product, being Dotnet so widely used. It's done, guess...? in one russian institution :-) It's free, and opensource. https://pascalabc.net/en/
Today the C type syntax is very, very loved, see from "old" Java to "young" Rust, Go, and more.
Maybe there is a strong reason to use it versus Pascal type, maybe not. Apart verbosity.
So whatever is broken with ctnUseUnitClearName => please create a bug report.
So for now, if there is something wrong or missing, other that the invert color => bugtracker please.
