ATS – A Better C?
I don’t really think ATS is a replacement for C, but I really liked this post about using ATS to write safer programs using C libraries.
It seems that ATS is basically as fast as C/C++. l’ve been using different functional languages off and on for the last decade, and performance of some functional languages (or at least their implementations) has prohibited me from using them more broadly. Being able to add ATS to my arsenal (Clean being my preferred functional language for performance) is something I look forward to. I enjoy learning new languages.
