Any idea on what the status of ParaSail is? Seems to have been pretty quiet lately :(



Have no idea. Contacting Taft et al about that and some other things... especially adding Rust's dynamic or concurrency safety to Ada... is on my backlog for now.


I think it's important to continue to do research in this area. I use Rust now because it is a great language with a strong community, tooling, and momentum, in spite of it's flaws and blind spots, but I see it more as a stepping stone to even better, safer, more expressive systems languages. Rust has challenged our preconceptions on what is possible - I think we may be able to push it even further. My preference is to try to move more towards Idris and the lambda calculus, but it would be interesting to see what an Ada-spin on it would look like.
