This makes it a great language not just for young Googlers programmers, but also for LLM Agents!
IMO, the next big language will be similar philosophy, but without garbage collection. (is Zig the closest to filling that niche?)

- kpw94 2mo agoInteresting project. 2 gut feeling concerns: - Strict subset of go might be confusing to an agent actually (trying to use unavailable go features) - So -> c11 source to source compile loop might be confusing to agent: if So compiles to c11 does it guarantee c11 program compiles. If runtime exception (segfault etc), is it going to be easy for agent to map that back to original So code?
