I think adding a page about that in the docs could help evaluate the language.
Afaic this is DOA, there is no excuse in implementing the core toolchain of a new language in a memory-unsafe manner in 2026.

How does it compare to others?
Is it C with bells and whistles?
Is it C++ with blubber removed?
How is it different from D?
From Go?

Trying to fish out from a multi-page reference what makes your language unique and what gripes with other languages it solves is tedious, very few people would do it. It's on you to explain it.

Like the built in decorators. I think language design based on what people want to achieve rather than creating the most generic zoo of primitives is underexplored. So this is good.

It works pretty well!
Then... what people want to achieve changes, maybe they want to write a web app instead of desktop, and then you're screwed. Perl was excellent when everything was text... but when things started being XML or JSON or whatever, less so.
It's a fair point though, languages built around practicality have their place.
