And to extend to this comment, I highly recommend reading the FAQ: <https://odin-lang.org/docs/faq/ https://odin-lang.org/docs/faq/> > What is the history of the project? > The project started one evening in late July 2016 when Ginger Bill was annoyed with programming in C++. The language began as a Pascal clone (with begin and end and more) but changed quite quickly to become something else. > Bill originally tried to create a preprocessor for C to augment and add new capabilities to the language. However, he found this endeavour a dead-end. That evening was the point at which Bill decided to create an entirely new language from scratch instead of trying to augment C --- > What use cases are the language best suited for? > Odin is a general-purpose programming language with distinct typing built for high performance, modern systems and data-oriented programming. > Odin is the C alternative for the Joy of Programming. Even though Odin is a "general purpose" language, in the same vein as C, many people have been using Odin for: * Game Development * Application Development * 3D Graphics * Physics * etc
