Ian,
Mozilla,
I thought all fast functional programming languages were
Lisp dialects, but that's not true and you can use other fast
functional programming languages, but now that you said
Rust, I think the programming language that you should use
must be ready for prime time, in other words, not alpha, so
Rust can't be used.
Pedro, are you trolling or serious? We are designing Rust to meet our
specific needs for a functional programming language because none of
the existing languages were suitable candidates, especially about
native compiled speed, C interop, and strong typesafety.
Rewriting our codebase in a functional language is not a short-term
operation: it's worth doing right.
--BDS
Since there's no functional programming language with the three
features that you mentioned, it looks to me like you'll have to go
with C or C++.
