2018 new scripting language

2018 was a great year for new scripting languages! Here are a few notable ones:

  1. Kotlinx.coroutines: While not a traditional scripting language, Kotlinx.coroutines is a library for building asynchronous and concurrent applications in Kotlin. It provides a high-level API for writing coroutines, which are lightweight threads that can be used to perform I/O-bound and CPU-bound tasks.
  2. Julia: Julia is a new language that is gaining popularity in the scientific computing community. It's designed to be fast, dynamic, and easy to use, with a syntax similar to MATLAB. Julia is particularly well-suited for numerical and data-intensive applications.
  3. Crystal: Crystal is a statically typed, compiled language that is designed to be fast and efficient. It's similar to Ruby, but with a focus on performance and concurrency. Crystal is gaining popularity as a replacement for Ruby in some applications.
  4. Nim: Nim is a statically typed, compiled language that is designed to be efficient and easy to use. It's similar to Python, but with a focus on performance and concurrency. Nim is gaining popularity as a replacement for Python in some applications.
  5. Raku: Raku is a new language that is designed to be a successor to Perl. It's a statically typed, compiled language that is designed to be fast and efficient, with a focus on concurrency and parallelism.
  6. Go: While not a new language per se, Go (also known as Golang) has been gaining popularity in recent years as a scripting language. It's designed to be fast, concurrent, and easy to use, with a focus on building scalable and reliable systems.
  7. Haxe: Haxe is a multi-platform language that can be used to build applications for multiple platforms, including JavaScript, Python, and C++. It's designed to be fast, efficient, and easy to use, with a focus on building cross-platform applications.

These are just a few examples of new scripting languages that were introduced in 2018. There may be others that are worth exploring depending on your specific needs and interests!
