Hello!
I get asked this question a lot. My goal for this project is not to convince you to use it. This new language does _nothing_ that you couldn't find in other languages today. This project won't take over the world, and many people ask me what the point of it is. It's purely a project stemmed from curiosity with absolutely no capitalistic motives. I did it based on my years of self-directed research studying many incredible programming languages, and this is what I have to show for my research.
My motivation for this was to learn how to build a programming language with a grammar, virtual machine, and garbage collector. It's a hobby project, not intended to be used for business.

- saurik 4y agoFWIW, I think I would be particularly confused by a "Show HN" on a project that the author explicitly didn't intend for me to actually use?

Show HN FAQ: > Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread. My guess is the author shared it for the learning opportunity.

- pvg 4y agoShow HN has its own rules and so forth but they are about posting work under the Show HN rubric. They aren't a requirement, though, you don't have to post personal work as a Show HN.
