Nice! I see you're one of (if not the primary) contributor!
Do you see this as a prototype language, or as something that might evolve into something production grade? What space do you see it fitting into, if so?
You've been such a huge presence in the Rust space. What lessons do you think Rue will take, and where will it depart?
I see compile times as a feature - that's certainly nice to see.
This is a project between me and Claude, so yeah :)
It's a fun project for me right now. I want to just explore compiler writing. I'm not 100% sure where it will lead, and if anyone will care or not where it ends up. But it's primarily for me.
I've described it as "higher than Rust, lower than Go" because I don't want this to be a GC'd language, but I want to focus on ergonomics and compile times. A lot of Rust's design is about being competitive with C and C++, I think by giving up that ultra-performance oriented space, I can make a language that's significantly simpler, but still plenty fast and nice to use.
We'll see.
Love it! I think that's a nice target.
Have fun! :)
