Apologies in advance if my writing is unclear.First, why make another programming language? This came out of my general frustration with working with MATLAB and Python during grad school as well as at work. I'm a mechanical engineer; I write Python scripts for my own use semi-regularly. My issue with Python is that while writing easy, debugging Python code I wrote is hard once the code gets big. Sharing my Python code to colleagues is very difficult as most of them are less technical on coding than I am, so asking them to setup a full Python env just to run a script is out of the question.Then, the Two-Language Problem for scientific computing: write the prototype code in Python/MATLAB and rewrite the performance sensitive code in C++/Rust when needed. The problem is that C++ and Rust are not very easy to learn and converting from a dynamically typed language like Python to a strict, statically typed language like Rust is not easy, especially for people who are not software engineers.T...
