I don't see how Nim, Python, Ruby, Rust can be classified as C language family?
Nim is compiled but it is more similar to Ada rather than C
Python and Ruby are not even compiled languages, the type system is completly different
Go has a GC, C doesn't
Rust is diametrically opposite to C when it comes to memory safety
I am having second thoughts about categorizing languages into families. It seems like it would be a very subjective choice to put a language in a family and also it would be a barrier to new contributors if they want to add a new language and are not sure which category it belongs to. I think we should just stick to alphabetical order. Can you please revert this commit? |
with all the recent changes this PR will become messier and it will be tough to resolve conflicts also I don't see much value in categorization when compared to the amount of effort that it requires, hence closing it. Apologies for not deciding this earlier and thank you for the contribution 😄 |
