Aditya Siram introduces ATS, a statically typed ML-like language that compiles to C and offers type-safe pointer arithmetic and a full proof language. The Strange Loop talk shows off C interop, concurrency and verification features with non-trivial examples.
Why HN recommends it: Cited in Rust and systems-language threads as the best introduction to ATS, a language claimed to go beyond Rust's safety guarantees.
