The recent introduction of a programming language inspired by Go, but notably not utilizing LLVM, has sparked discussions within the programming community. Many developers express skepticism about garbage-collected languages in systems programming due to performance concerns. Some users expressed curiosity about the absence of LLVM, its implications, and advantages, while others highlighted their preferences based on the syntax and functionality. Questions arose regarding string encoding and potential limitations, particularly about non-ASCII character support. Additionally, the language author promoted a playground area for users to test the language, encouraging feedback on its design choices and how it differs from Go.
