Expression-based syntax and match statements remind me of Rust, but it implemented simpler without options...
Maybe you already used Hare in your project. Interesting to read your feedback...
Looks like a bad rust wannnabe. The site doesn't really give any reason or reasoning or why it's special, who uses it, what libraries or bindings are available. Nothing about platform support or targets, compilers or interpreters. No mention if it's integrated in any distribution or package system.
I'll probably never look at it again unless it comes up in some interesting context.
Ah. Thanks. I'm not particularly, but rust definitely has crazy potential and makes a good tool where available. And it does keep coming up with surprises like having a target for Atari 800XL.
