Fika, another new Erlang/BEAM language
Just discovered Fika - looks pretty neat!
fn sum(a: Int, b: Int) : Float do
a + b
end
I quite like the syntax, though would probably prefer types to be lowercase (I’ve never used a typed language before so perhaps there’s a reason for it being the way it is).
How many new BEAM languages have we seen in the last couple of years now?
