The Eero language



Just learned about the Eero language via Daring Fireball:

> Eero is a fully binary- and header-compatible dialect of Objective-C, implemented with a modified version of the Apple-sponsored LLVM/clang open-source compiler. It features a streamlined syntax, Python-like indentation, and other features that improve readability and code safety. It is inspired by languages such as Smalltalk, Python, and Ruby.

I'm sure its syntax will be controversial (especially to Python haters), but it has plenty of drool-worthy features that have been discussed already on this list, including type inference in variable declarations, mutable array/dictionary literals, selector literals, NSRange literals, and [a limited form of] namespacing.

This is really exciting. I'm glad LLVM and Clang are making it so much easier to explore new language designs!
