What I really want to see from a "*-programming-language" post on HN is _why_. Why Lily?
> why
Building a program language is like poetry. Everyone does it at some point, just most of us know never to share it.
The README on gitlab at least has a sentence or two on that: https://gitlab.com/FascinatedBox/lily
> An interpreted language with a focus on expressiveness and type safety
Personally I think typed scripting languages could be the future. They should support AOT compilation where necessary.
From the link:
> Key features of Lily:
> Built-in template mode
> Embed/extend in C
> Single-inheritance classes
> Exceptions
> Generics
> Algebraic data types (with Option and Result predefined).
I am curious as well. some past readme has Why sections and I am not sure why they are removed/changed
this have "Why" section https://gitlab.com/FascinatedBox/lily/-/blob/d3ace2907747106...
this have "How Lily stands out from other languages:" section https://gitlab.com/FascinatedBox/lily/-/blob/785a88534cced53...
