gollark: (also, I'm still annoyed at crates.io squatting)
gollark: Rust is great except for 1 and learning curve.
gollark: JS meets... very slightly 2 (Ramda exists), 4, occasionally (very occasionally) 5, obviously 6 and mostly 7.
gollark: Haskell meets 1 (obviously), 2, 3, kind of 5 and maaaybe 7.
gollark: - nice, nonbrackety haskell syntax- functional-programming-oriented- strongly typed- pragmatic and not horribly complicated - yes, selective applicative functors or whatever new haskell thing is now being worked on may be elegant, but learning every needlessly fancy thing just takes away from *actually writing useful stuff*- good tooling (see: Rust; run screaming from: Go, C(++))- web platform, ideally (yes, it has Problems™, but there's something to be said for ability to just navigate to a webpage and run your stuff- good libraries/community
