Looks cool and does aim to address some of the annoying warts in Pascal. Especially the memory model.

It is a bit curious with the Mojo 1.0 beta coincidence, as Pascal was the other langauge with a highly readable and quite simple language combined with performant compiled code without GC.

What it lacked was a modern compiler and stack. There is FreePascal for sure, and Lazarus is impressive, but it for sure has its baggage.

That’s so great! Thank you!

I wish something like this existed for Ada :)
