Hey HN! I’ve been building OtterLang, a small experimental scripting language designed to feel like Python but compile down to native binaries through LLVM.

The goal isn’t to reinvent Python or Rust, but to find a middle ground between them:

Python-like readability and syntax Rust-level performance and type safety Fast builds and transparent Rust FFI (you can directly import Rust crates without writing bindings)

OtterLang is still early and very experimental. the compiler, runtime, and FFI bridge are being rewritten frequently.

Please star the repo, and contribute to help this project.
