I don't know if the world needs this language, but I'm glad it exists. There's a real charm to C's straightforwardness. It deserves to be expressed without broken array handling and a clunky preprocessor and overzealous UB and so on. I use Rust and like it well enough but it's amazing that its amount of complexity can work at all. It's healthy to have a counterpoint that stays clear even of generics.

It is impressive the number of times Rust is mentioned in this thread. I agree. Rust is very complicated and it still feels experimental. It is good to have more conservative languages.

You might want to look into Zig, which has most/all of Hare's features, supports a wider range of platforms and OSes (Hare only does Linux+FreeBSD), and has metaprogramming in the form of comptime expressions (unlike Hare, which has no metaprogramming at all) while being pretty widely considered to be an "easy" language to learn (and everyone I've heard talk about it has said that it's far easier than Rust).
