Dear D community,
I've been urged by many others to post about Amber here. It
is a
programming language being derived from D1, with a compiler
written
using D1 and Tango, with LLVM and C backends. The quality of
code and
documention is alpha (or pre-alpha).
I would love to read a bit about the differences between D1
and Amber.
Might be incomplete, but here is the start of a list:
https://bitbucket.org/larsivi/amber/wiki/Diff_D1
I do not want to sound dismissive, but IMHO the list of
differences is a bit "small" to start a new language..
Those 3 differences are interesting though:
-Annotations.
-Modern varargs; typesafe, indexable, slicable and possible to
pass on or unpack
-Easy to specify allocators during allocation
Though I didn't manage to find details about how they work on the
wiki.
