Felix has looked interesting for I cannot remember how many decades. How many people actually use it?


You're right, I thought this was a new language. The repo history goes back at least as far as 2001. I'm struggling to see the point to this language; what does it offer over C++ directly?


Or even Go


> Or even Go

lol. Felix has Sum types, meta types, pattern matching, algebric types, unions , sets, records, channels ... Go has what? a rigid type system and channels ...


I don't mean better in terms of features but rather the get shit done this language has a community and active development kind of thing.


Why am I unable to downvote? yet others seem to have the ability to downvote my comments


There's a minimum karma required to be able to downvote.


Thanks for explaining


You cannot down vote someone's reply to your comments.


Thanks for explaining, though I meant down voting in general
