Not sure if it matters, but this looks to be hand crafted code.

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I've added the blog post with motivation to my wander console.

I find myself agreeing a lot with what the author thinks and feels about programming languages. This has a lot of the things my imagined dream programming language would have.

Elegant syntax, reminded me of Roc and Elixir a bit. Having comptime and macros make it potentially very powerful for writing DSL. I would like to see a performance section and also some details about memory and concurrency safety, which I think should not be ignored in this day and age.

Came here to say it reminded me of earlier versions of Roc. Definitely similar vibes.

Lovely page as well. I also really like optional type systems.

Thanks, this does look like a very tasteful language.

One big gap in the introduction for me is how it handles iteration/recursion (and state; if it iterates, then I guess this means at least some form of mutability as well?).
