I added this language to my watch list some time ago and forgot about it, until I got a notification about a new release (0.15) yesterday.

I'm someone who is familiar with system languages (C, Rust) and shell languages (Bash, Zsh, ..). But don't have much experience, at a proficient level, with any languages setting in between.

So I gave Koto's language guide a read, and found it to be very well-written, and the premise of the language in general to be interesting. I only got annoyed near the end when I got to @base, because I'm an anti-OOP diehard ๐Ÿ˜‰

I hope this one well start to enjoy some adoption.

they donโ€™t have C API bridge yet.

cargo add libc

Done ๐Ÿ˜Ž

There is an example in the repository showcasing interop with Rust. But I didn't find it compelling enough for people to like. It felt a bit too complex. But maybe the complexity is inherent. I don't know.
