083: Lisette, inspired by Rust, compiles to Go with Iván Ovejero

About this episode

Dominic St-Pierre interviews Iván Ovejero about Lisette, a programming language inspired by Rust that compiles to Go.

This week Iván Ovejero join me and we talk about Lisette, a nice programming language that's inspired by Rust and compiles to Go. Programming languages are the new JS framework these days it seems. I personally enjoy discovering new language, sometimes it clicks sometimes it don't. Go is a great language, but I'll admit that having a better type system, the exhaustive pattern match on enum, and a pipe operator to me feels like very nice to have / quality of life as Gophers. In any case, it's always great to talk to language creators, And who knows, maybe you'll want some excitement and try something new this week. Links: Lisette's website Ivan's website
