Delve is a new programming language intended to bring the benefits of static type checking and functional programming to object-oriented design and development. It is an impure, eager language (Yes I can hear the groans of woe and cries for sanity already!)
Nice. Sounds like a fun project. If I had more spare cycles I would try to help.
Currently Delve supports:
Higher-order functions/first class functions Anonymous functions Lexical closures First class continuations Tail-call optimization A meta-object model (classes are objects) S-Expression based syntax. Embedded Haskell expressions within Delve.
Could you create a comparison of Delve to other (potentially) similar languages? For example, how is Delve similar/dissimilar to Clojure and Scala?
Delve is released under the terms of the GNU GPLv3.
Note intended as a criticism of the GPL or your decision to use it, but does this impact people's ability to use the Delve standard libraries in their own non-GPL projects? Good luck! Jason
