And btw, can I get units for variables already? Annoyed that I can't say that this variable is in inches, or in bytes. Want to be able to tag data that says this is xyY, or XYZ space so that my function can convert if necessary or not.

Netencode: I’m currently building out my project of making a “better” structured language for use in UNIX-pipelines and shell scripting and the like.

It’s human-readable, but supports trivial generation with printf & wc, tagged values (sum types, Result<T>) and embedding arbitrary binaries without escaping due to being length-prefixed.

I think it’s pretty cool!

Why not #Go?
Because it's from #Google.

Why not #Csharp or #Fsharp?
#Microsoft.

Why not #Rust or #Zig?
#LLVM (aka #Apple & friends).

Ultimately, most of languages I avoid like the plague are controlled by #BigTech one way or another.

C is simple enough to get several alternative compilers based on useful standards.² ³

¹ In theory I still prefer #Oberon07, but when I want to code something useful I still use C instead to lower the entry barrier for other devs, because there are too many incompatible implementations of the compiler and "standard" library.

² Ok, #Python, #Scheme and #Lua have similar qualities, but for the tools I write I usually prefer binary executables with no runtime.

³ No, #C++ is not an option. 😉
