digitalmars.D - Slides about Nemerle

Simple slides about Nemerle language, derived from C#, so far I have never used
Nemerle:
http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/gnaop/nemerle_vs_c/

The things I like more are yield (page 20 and 44 of the PDF), some tuple syntax
(page 51), pattern matching and algebraic types (especially page 64 and 65).
(Macros too may be cool, but they are another level of complexity). It seems it
uses a simple syntax for tuples, and the pattern matching syntax too looks
simple.

Bye,

C# has yield since version 2.0:

This is a yield in method. Nemerle support it too. But Nemerle support
yield inside separate expression.

Looks like a nice language, indeed... and strangely similar to Ocaml (born 1996 
IIRC) ;-)

Yea. I've still never used Nemerle (never liked the idea of being 
constrained to a VM), but ever since I came across it I've been a huge fan 
of it's patten matching and, to a slightly lesser extent, it's macros too. 
So much so, in fact, that it's been really tempting to try using it for a 
few things instead of D despite the VM ball-and-chain. Seeing Nemerle's 
pattern matching added to D would make me an incredibly happy D user.

It is better to learn a language by reading articles about it, but not looking
to slides. Here is a simple introduction to the language:
