I want both.



That's the ideal amount of information.

A reasonable example of a good page that is informative and provides lots of examples (enough at least!) is the one for D:

I also like the "Ecosystem" part of Julia: https://julialang.org/ Sadly, for some reason code samples are lacking.


Julia is a language I love that I don't see myself using sadly. It does some amazing things that leave me shocked, like it can show you the assembly you generate while using a REPL. That's impressive to me. However, I'm not the target developer for Julia.

Edit:

Course after clicking your link, I am wondering how wrong I am since it is still technically general purpose capable. Wow Julia has grown so much!


Out of curiosity, what sort of development do you do? Julia is a very flexible language. The majority of its community is still focused on numerical scientific computing, but it's great for all sorts of usecases these days.

The way I think of it, in order to build a language that was flexible enough to cover all these different weird needs you find in the scientific computing community, they ended up needing to build a general purpose language.
