The thought of this makes me shudder.

Someday, Rust will be retro too! That's just the way things work. :)

I gotta stop getting old

There is only one way to stop getting old...

☕️ Morgan · Jul 20 at 20:14:

@stack Agreed! Dart all the way, amiright? Okay, probably not going to get too much support around here for this one ;)

You can try it on the interblogs, if curious.

I'll just leave this here ;)

@Morgan It looks like C# 👍

☕️ Morgan · Jul 21 at 13:09:

@Addison it should be one of the easiest modern languages to learn, think Java without the rough edges :) e.g. no primitive types or arrays, simplified class/member visibility, collaborative scheduling and isolates instead of multithreading.

🔭 DocEdelgas · Jul 21 at 17:39:

@Morgan That's arguably still very similar to C#.

🐝 Addison · Jul 21 at 18:38:

I've seen good work done with Flutter. Dart looks promising for sure.

☕️ Morgan · Jul 22 at 05:36:

@DocEdelgas yes :) I don't know C# well, but I believe it ;)

At some point down the road retrocomputing will include using Python 2
