dynamic typing

Didn't read any further.

*no garbage collection

runs out of memory after a while

*clean core language, without built-in crap like dictionaries

no standard library

*dynamic typing

crashes at random

*macros metaprogramming

not like those macros that don't allow metaprogramming

*semicolons required only between statement in same line

worst-case parser complexity is asymptotic

*efficient lists

arrays

*overridable funcall operator

written in python

*Functions are first-class objects.

a new feature for 1964

some other shit

How does Symta compare, performance-wise, to C?
Any benchmarks?
Rust offers zero-cost abstraction, what about Symta?

runs out of memory after a while

You have read nothing about symta

>>6
Considering that Symta runs on top of GCC, doesn't use GC and therefore can have inline C code, the performance would be one to one.

>>5

runs out of memory after a while

C/C++ doesn't run out. Why Symta should?

In Warcraft 2 implementation I just use preallocated object pools. So that when ingame object dies it is just returned to the pool. Most other stuff, like per frame data gets freed on stack return.

I still don't miss GC.

Nobody cares, prove that Symta passes the man-or-boy test or go away.

>>10
heh I'm beginning to feel bad for starting this shit

>>11
Thou art OP-san and dubs-san as well?

Amazing!

>>12
no, I started the call for man-or-boy in symta

I prefer boys

>>14
>le pedophile sage

"man-or-boy test" sounds gay

>>13
no, I started it!

>>15
I get the joke now!
