mojo VS Beef

https://github.com/modularml/mojo/blob/main/LICENSE Is this not it?

Interesting, but the intent seems similar to Chris Lattner's new Mojo language which arguably has similar characteristics and is further along in its development.

Mojo is a programming language that combines the performance and control inherent in systems languages like C++ and Rust with the flexibility and simplicity of use typical of dynamic languages like Python. Because of its combination of performance, extensibility, and usability, its design makes it possible to construct high-performance systems, which makes it a good option for AI development.

If you take a look at the optimized Mojo code doing the matrix multiply [1], it takes an expert to understand. It’s not just some simple for-loops in Mojo they’re comparing against.

Mojo truly unlocks a world of possibilities in high-performance computing.

For a concrete example of Liquid Haskell, see how Gabriella Gonzalez safely removed bound checks of high-performance protocol parsing, in "Scrap your Bounds Checks with Liquid Haskell" [1].

With Liquid Haskell, the bound checks are moved from runtime to compile time, semi-automatically handled by SMT-solvers. With static types, programmers can write correct programs faster, and the programs also run faster.

As an aside, speeding up programs with static analysis (constrained dynamism) are also present in Mojo (a variant of Python) or Swift [2].

Is it really a one man show? It looks like Beef Lang has excellent home page https://www.beeflang.org/ and I never heard about it until now.

Jai is dead, this is the year of Beef from the genius behind Plants vs. Zombies and Bookworm Adventures Deluxe.

On one hand, I feel there are so many similar languages out there {(Val, Vala, Vale, Corroded Iron, Beef, Zig, Carbon, cppfront, Jai)...}, that we don't need yet another, but also I encourage further thought because it may be inspiration for future improvements to C++ itself. The number one faux pas I see them make is trying to directly compete with C++ (inventing their own type system, their standard library, their build system, own package format...), whereas your (by its very nature as a transpiler) embraces C++.

This project is an exploration of two things. Firstly I wanted to dig into the exciting new language and IDE, Beef. If you're the low-level code oriented type I _highly_ recommend checking it out. Beef is a systems-level language (like C/C++) that borrows heavily from C# but ditches the garbage collector. It comes with a wonderful IDE and a great debugger and just an excellent work flow. Check it out at https://www.beeflang.org/.

That's why I love C#, Rust and Beef so much - no need to worry about pointers and segfaults and the code is generally nice to read unless you do something extremely crazy.
