alt Hacker NewsIs there some kind of an advertising blurb for why you’d want to use Toit, especially for scripting? I think the only thing I saw was “a readable language”, but I’d probably consider Python more readable than it judging from the examples.
Is there some kind of an advertising blurb for why you’d want to use Toit, especially for scripting? I think the only thing I saw was “a readable language”, but I’d probably consider Python more readable than it judging from the examples.
A few more bullet points to encourage readers to have a look at Toit:
- Faster than Python. Depending on the benchmark up to x10.
- Can be compiled to executables. Currently `-o` just takes an interpreter and attaches the bytecodes, but Kasper also started experimenting with native output.
- Cleaner base. Objects aren't just hashtables. This can be seen as a downside as well (making the language less flexible), but in my book it's a win.
- The `--named=value` syntax is just a winner :)
