As someone working on a language in this space, I think your README could be much better.
Most of the important stuff is in this section:
```3. What's Actually New About It?```
But you don't really go into any details about what's actually happening, have any honest conversation about any trade-offs, mention anything about why this is memory safe & correct now (highly skeptical), or why you have a clear path towards that in the near future.
From the VERY brief examples you show, it looks like it's just Rust without a borrow checker. The borrow checker gives Rust a bad reputation, but it's only a very small part of why Rust is hard. You didn't give any insight into how you're solving the rest of the problems.
