alt Hacker NewsAn interesting bit to me is that it compiles to (apparently) readable C, I'm not sure how one would use that to their advantage
I am not too familiar with C - is the idea that it's easier to incrementally have some parts of your codebase in this language, with other parts being in regular C?

i think so. The biggest hurdle with new languages is that you are cut off from a 3rdparty library ecosystem. Being compatible with C 3rd party libraries is a big win.

one benefit is that a lot of tooling e.g. for verification etc. is built around C.
another is that it only has C runtime requirement, so no weird runtime stuff to impelement if youd say want to run on bare metal..you could output the C code and compile it to your target.
