Why does this exist? (Serious question)

• AnimalMuppet 12y ago
  Because someone cared enough to make it. (Serious answer.) But I think you're really asking a different question than the one your words say. I suspect you're asking why someone should bother to write this. There are several possible reasons. "Just because they felt like it" is a perfectly fine reason. "Because they thought it was interesting" is pretty close to the same reason. "Because they thought the world needed this language" is probably not as good a reason, because it seems somewhat unlikely to be correct.

    The last part might not be true. Though i won't generalize, let's just say that i have been writing industry code for almost a decade, 90% C (because of domain) and at least a quick review tells me, porting this to a couple of major platforms could be very practical and useful IF IF, it does not sacrifice the performance.

    Why has this been posted multiple times? Seems like any opposition (healthy) gets down voted...

  To scratch the itch, obviously.
