At first I thought this was a joke due to some of the copy, but after reading through the tutorial a bit, it seems pretty interesting. Less hyperbole would be nice though. From the FAQ, ANI (the language, anic is the reference compiler) is faster than C because it is automatically parallel code. Not exactly what I think of when someone says "faster than C".

Nevertheless, for a modern take on a dataflow language, ANI is intriguing. If nothing else, the paradigm is probably different enough from imperative/OOP/functional that it is worthwhile to learn even if ANI doesn't take off.



After reading through the tutorial I'm absolutely fascinated. What an interesting paradigm!
