An experimental successor to C++/Java
The point of Elijah in a nutshell is to have a language to replace C++ and Java and Python for personal use.
The language landscape has evolved tremendously, mostly, as I have seen, due to the cloud companies (and Haskell to a degree, I guess).
You cannot teach quantum mechanics to someone that is stuck on classical mechanics.
I'll read up on this stuff when I feel better.
