Not sure if it matters, but this looks to be hand crafted code.

I may have overstated this, since the repo starts with a large dump of code. But otherwise missing most telltale signs of AI.

  I've hung out in the discord for the past couple days. Can confirm the author does not seem to use LLMs for coding and just likes coding for the love of the game.

Elegant syntax, reminded me of Roc and Elixir a bit. Having comptime and macros make it potentially very powerful for writing DSL. I would like to see a performance section and also some details about memory and concurrency safety, which I think should not be ignored in this day and age.

  Came here to say it reminded me of earlier versions of Roc. Definitely similar vibes.

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I've added the blog post with motivation to my wander console.

I find myself agreeing a lot with what the author thinks and feels about programming languages. This has a lot of the things my imagined dream programming language would have.

Lovely page as well. I also really like optional type systems.

Thanks, this does look like a very tasteful language.

One big gap in the introduction for me is how it handles iteration/recursion (and state; if it iterates, then I guess this means at least some form of mutability as well?).
