Research programming language with compile-time memory management (Score: 102+ in 3 hours)

Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/4mCrX
I've been working on implementing the compile-time approach to memory management described in this thesis (https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/techreports/UCAM-CL-TR-908.pdf) for some time now - some of the performance results look promising! (Although some less so...) I think it would be great to see this taken further and built into a more complete functional language.

所有精神上处于「第一世界」的左派们都要认清一个问题：
无论科技公司能多大程度拥抱清洁能源，如何把环保作为它们的重要价值观和 PR 事业去做，只要清洁能源在经济性上，效率上比不过化石能源，环保的革命就永远无法成功，除非气候变化真的演变为短期内可预见的世界末日。
而且在清洁能源发展，效率提升的过程中，化石能源不会坐吃山空，不会像很多人想象的那样「马上濒临枯竭」，而是也会继续发展，你必须做好竞争的准备，而不是革命。
当然，我不是在说一切「环保活动」都没有意义，每一个人意识转变的 baby step 也是一种进步，只不过如果你试图完全指望这种 baby step，那最终你一定会失望。
