Languages update

Programming languages
#11

To be fair… I wasn’t really wanting to use Swift or Rust… but now that they are there, I’m more inclined to actually check them out.

Yeah… I’ve been kind of not doing too much of them too quickly… but I’ve not really been doing much of anything on this website too quickly. To the point where I’ve mostly been sticking with C and Perl… even for situations using other languages would be the logical answer to do there (and mocking my own stubbornness with it, rather than actually justifying it).

Hi

A rust update would be welcome.

Rust gets a new version every 6 weeks, a regular warning like a google calendar reminder would help you not miss any update :slight_smile:

#13

Can we get an update to Swift 3? It’s a major change from Swift 2, and the app development community has already moved to it, with Apple dropping support for Swift 2 very aggressively.

#14

Plese update Haskell too, I can’t use ghc 7.8.3 via stack (on Arch linux) anymore.

Now I have to blindly use 7.10.3 to test code locally and hope nothing will break when submit.

There is no major issue yet but update would be nice :slight_smile:

$ stack --resolver=lts-0.3 setup
Run from outside a project, using implicit global project config
Using resolver: lts-0.3 specified on command line
No information found for ghc-7.8.3.
Supported versions for OS key 'linux64-ncurses6': GhcVersion 7.10.3, GhcVersion 8.0.1
#15

as you can see here, Rust and Haskell have been updated

Wrong Spidermonkey version in FAQ
#17

So good I can’t believe my eyes! Yay!

#18

Nice!
Thank you!

#19

Thanks, I was really waiting Python 3.6. Especially type hints and new format.

#20

What happens to the swift3 badges?

#21

There have never been any Swift3 badges, so no problem there.

#22

Just for you know, 1.8.0_152 has some big regressions especially for Tomcat. I hope it won’t affect codingame puzzle. Oracle said that it will be fixed in the 1.8.0_153.

#23

FYI while you were upgrading OCaml to 4.05.0, the new 4.06.0 version was released, which is quite unfortunate. :smiley:

ES6 :heart_eyes: finally!

Could you please check Haskell installation? Some standard libraries are not found (Data.Random, Data.Vector). Just tried to compile code from past contests…

thanks for clojure :slight_smile:

Looks like all of them.

In fact, it looks like the Haskell setup actually went from platform 7.10.3 to ghc 8.2.1, instead of ghc 7.10.3 to platform 8.2.1.

The following code, that ought to do nothing (and yell about main missing), yields exactly one error per line:

import Data.Attoparsec

Ts’all better than nothing, so please excuse the misplaced curiosity on my side, but…

Perl 5.24 is the stable branch that forked about a year and a half ago. Stable perl 5.26 branched in May. Why do we get the older one?

#29

It was easier to install. I don’t know the exact technical details.

#30

The Scheme or Racket unavailability makes me feel sad. I hope there is still hope >^.^< Thanks for other languages, anyway
