Melon is a fast, open-source high-level language built with Shortcuts in TypeScript.
val = getInput('Enter the secret number:');
while(val !== '42') { val = getInput('Incorrect – please try again:'); }
showMessage('Correct answer!');
hey haz, im pretty intrigued by melon’s design. its neat using shortcuts in ts. do u see it scaling up for larger projects? im curious how it jives with other high-level langs in terms of perfomance and flexibility.
hey haz, im likeing the shortcut concept but got doubts abt debugging in bigger projects. curious if hidden complexity might bite later. any tests done on modular code in melon? keen to see how it scales.
hey haz, im pretty curious if melon’s shortcut approach could handle asyn operatons well. have u tried blending async patterns in a large webapp? its got me wondering how it would scale in real-life heavy loads.
Melon’s approach indeed brings a refreshing take on language design. Drawing from similar experiences with high-level languages, the emphasis on shortcuts could significantly reduce boilerplate code in everyday tasks. In projects where rapid prototyping is essential, such a design has the potential to accelerate development cycles. However, I have observed that maintaining readability and robust debugging can become challenging when shortcuts obscure traditional constructs. Although performance appears promising, ensuring that the language scales well in complex scenarios will be key, particularly when combining high-level expressiveness with low-level control.
