Is ATS a good choice for parallel and distributed systems?

I’m doing a research about programming languages that are a good choice for
parallel, distributed and massive systems.

I don’t know how to make an OS, but my dream is to do one from scratch. I
would like to use Parallella as the first hardware (because parallellism is
the future, of course), and I want to know if ATS is a good option like
Rust or Parasail.

Sorry for my english, I only have experience in reading, not writing.

Greetings!

Thanks for the quick answer! I will start learning the language right now.
Thanks again ^_^.El martes, 18 de agosto de 2015, 18:46:44 (UTC+2), gmhwxi escribió:

Well, I guess the right answer should be that ATS can be very good for
implementing
parallel, distributed and massive systems.

The very essence of ATS lies in its emphasis on using static checking (at
compile-time)
to flush out potential bugs. This bodes well in any scenario where
run-time debugging is
difficult and costly.

Of course, like a music instrument, it is only good if you have actually
got the skills to use
it properly.
