Go has a few nice ideas, but otherwise it's a bit of a mess. Both "new" and "make" to create items, and then "delete" doesn't quite do what you expect. No exceptions. No typed containers (at least not yet). No inheritance. For Zimbu I'm trying to gather all the nice things from other languages. >From Go I learned about channels (called pipe in Zimbu). Those are a nice way to communicate between threads (or co-routines, if you have them). https://zimbu.googlecode.com/hg/docs/PIPE.Pipe.html I'm also talking with the guy implementing garbage collection in Go, taking some of their ideas for the Zimbu garbage collector (almost done, got stalled because of Vim work...). -- Support your right to bare arms!
