Our first planned step toolkit / language support will be for Go.
Considerations for new suggestions:
- We at
bitrise strongly prefer compiled & statically typed languages. We worked with quite a few languages in the past and so far this is the combination which worked the best, especially long term / as the code grows.
Here are other languages which could be good candidates as supported step toolkits in the future:
PROS:
- Ruby like language, with static typing!
- Official dependency manager
CONS:
- No Windows support
- Not "production ready" yet
Ruby / Python
PROS:
- Dynamic, "production ready" script languages; there are certain types of tasks where a dynamic language can be useful (although we at
bitrise strongly prefer compiled & statically typed languages)
