Interesting no one here is discussing “Jakt”, which looks very similar in style and approach. Jakt is the language attempted by the SerenityOS team, which itself dispels the notion you can’t building something of substance from scratch without outside libraries. Jakt also implements fairly lightweight reference counting, making it memory safe. I think the potential of SerenityOS/Jakt can’t be overstated and strikes me as comparable to the excitement surrounding Linux in the early ‘90s.
