I can see how multiple mutable references is fine in a single-threaded context, but surely this would cause UB in the multi-thread context?

I'm really looking forward to the next generation of languages. Not only are the old 90's languages like Java, PHP, and JavaScript now actually doing things correctly. The new languages like Zig, Go, Swift and Rust continue to figure out new ways of trying things like generics. Spinoffs like V, Ante, and others are perfect testing grounds.

What about Vale? Is this a rename of it or something new?

Terse it is, beautiful it is not (well my version of beautiful that is - easy to read and understand). this is not to diminish the language.
