HOW THE FUCK DOES SO MUCH MAGIC FIT IN A 1 MB EXE?!?

Does it have static typing ?

red is awesome
I use it in production even, yeah its just a wrapper for an existing cli tool, but it works so well, and its cross platform (not that anyone uses anything but linux at work)

It has optional static typing, which is mandatory if you want to use it as a compiled language.

With that said, so far the main thing that has impressed me is the DSL's in the standard library, for things like GUI's and parsing.

Here's a bunch of GUI examples: mycode4fun.co.uk/About-Red-Programming

Any game examples?

>>HOW THE FUCK DOES SO MUCH MAGIC FIT IN A 1 MB EXE?!?

Hold on, I'm still installing the 673MB of dependencies I need for node to respond to your comment.

It's a port of a 90s language. In the olden times, eight megabytes and swapping meant that something was clunky.

1 MB compiled code is a shit ton

its god-tier language.
Brainlets wouldn't understand the magic behind that aryan tool.

Javascript > this shitty language

remember when email clients were 500kb

(You)

Bloated piece of crap with a bloated toolchain and a bloated ecosystem.

You can do a lot with 1MB with a little bit of optimization.

remember when a spreadsheet program used to fit in a single floppy disk

can someone give me an actual basic gestalt or even better, the big encalada on this language?

being serious. please elaborate and explain.

Just gotta say.
To avoid having cancer infect it (normies and such-forth) we need to make it taboo or keep it hidden. If the normies find it they will kill it like every other decent modern language.

>muh safe space and secret club
an hero you fagget

>For Linux folks, sorry guys, the GUI support is not yet ready for prime time

>mycode4fun.co.uk/About-Red-Programming
>all those useless shitty garbage "examples"
is this a joke?

>what happened to ruby
>whats happening ot nodejs
hmmmmmmm, its almost like SJ politics are infiltrating the tech industry, and ruining everything by being accessible to unskilled normies....
HMMMMMMMMMMMM... :^|

Feel free to pick any language you know, and implement one of those examples to the same spec with less code.

how to learn this language if you don't know any other programming language? any good tutorials?

>top contributors/developers in the git repo are from china

>top scientists of AI development and genetic engineering are in china
> AI development and genetic engineering must be shit

red is literally html guys

already a couple.
Google on youtube.

>this entire obviously shill thread
>nobody figured out that this shit doesn't work from the massive failure that is nim's shilling campaign

Does every post sound the same because one guy wrote the whole script, or is it because it was written by a set of uninteresting, robotic people?

I won't use your shit language, Chang.

"Yes, herro. Would you like try new language, Red?!"

It sounds like a blend of haskell and lisp. I don't like rebol.

I've yet to see anything useful written in it.

You're not getting any tip if you forget my fucking duck sauce and mustard again.

Could this be the PHP for desktop applications and possibly even mobile apps?

How long before flood of poorly coded programs by pajeets ruin everything (inb4 it's already like that -- bringing down app development difficulty to PHP or Visual Basic 6 level would unleash a plague)?

I actually use nim in production because of the Sup Forums shilling campaign.... and now I'm trying out red....

wow, it's like they are decent languages discovered by like-minded people.

>I actually use nim in production

Does it have garbage collection?

I love Nim so much.

Yes. A new GC is being worked on for the self-hosting compiler.

>being worked on

so no?

>less code

I'd prefer more code if it meant I didn't have to deal with whatever unreadable syntax rape is going on here

this

holy fuck that is awful

>Follow @red_lang on Twitter or on /r/redlang subreddit.
>no dedicated Sup Forums board
It's trash.

Everything seems in order.

hahaahah I want to live in the timeline where India gets ahold of RED and it replaces java; it would be like mad max

how to make minecraft in this? any guides?

If I write a program with a distributable size of 512MiB, and you have a 48Mbit/s internet connection and a 500GiB storage drive, it would download in a minute and a half and consume 0.1% of your disk space.

In other words, download size and size-on-disk are now completely irrelevant.

Seems very similar to shoes in ruby.

>why the lucky stiff
what a mysterious guy

he went to an irl event and thought no one would identify him?

By putting a really unfinished, unoptimized compiler and runtime into it.
