Fuse supports ADTs, Generics, Type Methods, Traits, Pattern matching etc. all in a functional style with no mutations.

I’ve been developing the language for 5 years, with code written in Scala. I’ve started coding the language from the base of System F that was implemented as part of the book: Types and Programming Languages (tapl). And then extending with concepts such as Bidirectional Type Checking with Higher-Rank Polymorphism.

I’ve mainly drawn inspiration from Rust, Haskell, Scala and Python (in terms of syntax). It all started because I wanted a language that has Rust-like concepts such as: ADT, Traits, Impl block syntax, etc. but have the pure functional semantics.

I'd would love feedback on the language design and its general usage.","time":1785669836,"title":"Show HN: Fuse – statically typed functional programming language","type":"story","url":"https://fuselang.org"}],[49139845,{"by":"skeptic_ai","descendants":18,"id":49139845,"kids":[49139888,49274579,49274360,49141797,49165980,49140472,49142248,49153344,49142116,49141677,49140102,49142259,49149394,49169698,49140337,49152998,49142585,49140393,49148713,49144469,49146483,49141324,49142720,49150587,49140004,49144314,49145099],"score":17,"text":"I’ve asked AI a few times and I still don’t get it.
