If people wanted to use things like generics and metaprogramming with Hare, what's the solution? Write a transpiler, or just don't–use another language? I admire wanting to keep the language simple, but generics usually makes my programs simpler. At the expense of a more complicated language specification.


You probably want to use another language. Hare does not aim to support every use-case, but instead seeks to thrive in its niche. But I would also recommend giving Hare a shot and not writing it off because it lacks generics -- you can do a lot with it regardless.
