I want to write something about the C-style programming for ATS, but not quite have the time (or the guts or whatever it is I lack). It would be great to help fellow programmers learn more about ATS! > I would be happy to collaborate on the write up and hear your thoughts > about what drew YOU to ATS. > I still view ATS as C-with-proper-type-system. :) This is what drew me to ATS: you can write safe, efficient systems-level programs but this will require some theorem proving, bringing this academic discipline close to actual programming practice (or you can cast your way through the types, but then you're the one to blame if things go wrong). ATS helped me to improve my knowledge of C. Regarding your write-up, have you seen HtDP (How to Design Programs)? Their "design recipes" are somewhat similar IIRC (proceed top-down, refine, state pre- and post-conditions, provide examples of evaluation aka tests).
