Sophia J. TurnerAnnouncing #junelang, an experimental safe systems language with a focus on being readable, learnable, and teach-able.

Tom@sophiajt Nice. Is there any future where memory recycling is automatic? I read the reasoning, but... that bit sapped the enthusiasm that had been building in me.
@tjk doubtful. It's still a systems language at its heart. We don't want to hide performance costs.
@sophiajt To me, that makes it feel lower level than Rust, having to think about 'free'/recycle statements. Lifetimes, and the other things June removes/hides, seem like higher-level concerns that I can understand having to learn, even if it's not easy; thinking about whether I'm using a part of memory feels like C. But this is why we have different languages; people think differently :)
