Some cool features will be available soon. The main goal of the lannguage is to provide a similar mechaism to Swift's #available/@available feature to deploy single binary to multiple platform versions. A VM or JIT or Booter will drop uavailable features fom binary on the fly.
Expectations:
- Optimize workflow with Universal Shading Language (https://github.com/UniversalShading)
- Built-in float3, float4, mat3, mat4...
- Built-in vector, matrix math
- Built-in AI / Machine Learning helpers
- Built-in CURL support (maybe)
- Async/await support
- No garbage collector at runtime (thanks)
- C codes or libary can be used diectly with no cost
- High perfomance
- Pointers and all features in C must be supported
- API, Platform availability check
- Mutiple platform versions with single binary with
#available - Fast compilation
- Small binary size
- Operator and function overloading, custom operators
- Simple
- Package manager (or use https://github.com/unipkg)
- Cross platform NextUI (https://github.com/nextlang/NextUI) or UniversalUI (https://github.com/UniversalUI) alternative to SwiftUI and Flutter
