They are relatively new language. When I say "appeared" I mean that I never noticed them until recently. Even languages we think are new usually took at least a year or two to reach some usable version level. Lisaac has numbers appearing in the language shootout that are extremely impressive. Vala is statically typed and based on gnome. It translates to C code but of course that doesn't guarantee that it will be fast. I don't have numbers on Vala but it would be simple to make up your own test. - Don > Sent from my iPhone > > On Oct 7, 2008, at 2:38 PM, Don Dailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > I have noticed there are 3 more languages that have appeared that seem > > to promise the speed and memory benefits of C and yet are higher level > > languages: > > > > Has anyone looked at lisaac, Vala, or Genie? > > > > Lisaac is claimed to be just as fast as C and was designed to be > > used to > > write operating systems just like C was.
