| Those are all great questions. I will add to the docs to explain more details later, but for now: 1. It is value based, like C. There is obviously passing by pointer, but you do that explcitly. 2/3. Memory is manually managed. To make this easier, like Zig and Odin, everything that allocates should take an allocator as a parameter. This allocator can be the general purpose heap allocator, or it can be an arena, ring buffer, or even tracked allocations that can be freed all at once. More details on that to follow in the documentation. 4. It does have multi-threading support, thanks to the atomics WASM proposal. The standard library currently has support for basic multi-threaded primitives like mutexes, semaphores, and condition variables. Note, there is currently not async/await or any kind of concurrent execution. 5/6. It does have modern type features like sum types. It has Optional(T) and Result(Ok, Err) out of the box. That is the preferred method of error handling. 7. It is mostly statement oriented, but there are features like Elixir's pipe operator (|>) and if/else (value if condition else otherwise) expressions. |
