BitC, bitches

BitC is a new systems programming language. It seeks to combine the flexibility, safety, and richness of Standard ML or Haskell with the low-level expressiveness of C.

http://www.bitc-lang.org/

Yeah, no. Too many damned parentheses, when Haskell has already shown how to do functional programming syntax like a man. (Rather than, say, a bitch.)

They're reinventing Kelsey's PreScheme

This is the language that will be used to program the microkernel that will be used in the GNU/Hurd!

Also,
While the current language specification uses a Scheme-like concrete syntax, this choice is a matter of convenience only. It is entirely possible to build a C-like concrete syntax for BitC, and at some point it may become compelling to do so. [http://www.bitc-lang.org/docs/bitc/spec.html]

Yay, make the syntax OPTIONAL then! Great going, people! Just fuckin' great.

More like extending. For example, bitc has Haskell-style type classes.

The authors' are well aware of PreScheme and VLISP:

The worst thing about Haskell is its XBOX HUEG, nasty, fugly syntax.

the same has been said of lisp.

Lisp? XBOX syntax? Where? Lisp syntax is basically:

S ::= T [S]
T ::= ATOM | '(' [S] ')'

haskell and ML fucking sucks and should be deleted from teh universe

>>13
If that's the case, please recommend a replacement purely functional language. Porting my maths processing libs from C to Haskell was the best I've done for my own sanity.

STACK BASED

OOOOOOOOH MY EYESSSSSSSSSSSSSs

Stack based is basically points-free programming, yeah? And points-free is pointless. So Joy is pointless. Good night.

BitC looks really cool.

(Decent (idea, (but) worst syntax) '(ever)). I'd consider using it if it was ML-like.

(macro (let ((to from) . rest) body)
  `((lambda (,to) ,(if (nil? rest) body
           (let rest body)))
    ,from))

which will finally be released to the general public in 2040. 
ends up being worth the wait though.
