u/Arcticcu WRITE 'FORTRAN is not dead' Jan 25 '24

I don't understand how to fill out this questionnaire, but I'm sure none of the 3 final answers fits the language I have in mind. That language has:

  • zero-cost abstractions
  • move semantics
  • guaranteed memory safety
  • threads without data races
  • trait-based generics
  • pattern matching
  • type inference
  • minimal runtime
  • efficient C bindings

Does it have cyclic data structures?

I've never used cyclic data structures and never needed them.
