Features
Safe
Automatically apply and guard resources. Opt into unsafe C only explicitly.
Finite
Tuple-based type system reads sequentially. Less wading through magic.
Ergonomic
High-level syntax. Interceptable errors get out of the way.
Fast
Scripting abstractions yet minimal memory indirection.
Duck and linear types
Functions define types. Interact with those with zero runtime overhead.
Supported
Compiler, LSP, interpreter to test unsafe code, web import, web playground.
