Keep going, and I hope more people start rolling their own languages.

If anyone is interested, I'm fairly close to finalizing Slang and I'm considering open-sourcing it in the near future. What originally started as a simple register based lang for an embeddable VM turned into an insanely expressive meta?programming language. Full system Fω, expansive whole program reflection (you can reflect on absolutely anything), string memory & logic safety..

You can do stuff like this:

   (fn answer () -> i64 0)
   (defpass build-answer
     (phase source)
     (transform (lambda (f)
       (fn-with f 'body '(let ((a (arr (42)))) (at a 0)))))
     (safety (lambda (goal) (syntax (refl)))))
   (run-pass build-answer answer)
   (fnmut answer
     (transform (lambda (f)
       (if (memory-safe? (check-memory (current-program)))
         f (syntax-error 'unproved-memory)))))
   (defpass inspect-ssa
     (phase ssa)
     (transform (lambda (f)
       (if (memory-safe? (check-memory (ssa-current-program)))
         f (syntax-error 'unproved-ssa-memory))))
     (proof (lambda (goal) (syntax (refl)))))
   (run-pass inspect-ssa answer)
   (answer)

or this:

   (fn next ((i i64)) -> i64 (+ i 1))
   (fncontract next
     (ensures result (successor (Eq i64 result (+ (old i) 1)) auto)))
   (fn read-second ((i i64)) -> i64
     (let ((a (arr (0 42)))) (at a i)))
   (fncontract read-second (requires (one (Eq i64 i 1))))
   (let ((i (next 0)))
     (with-proof ((one (Eq i64 i 1) (result-proof i successor)))
       (print (read-second i))))

it also supports full inline asm or llvm ir:

   (var answer 0)
   (asm (input rdi 20)
        (input rsi 22)
        (output rax answer)
        (mov rdi rax)
        (add rsi rax))
   (print answer)

   (macroop \ (a) (asm (mov a rax)))
   (\ 42)

   (print (llvm add 20 22))
   (print (->i64 (llvm fused-multiply-add (f64) 6.0 7.0 0.0)))
   (llvm fn sum32 ((x i32) (y i32)) -> i32
     (block entry
       (value answer (llvm add x y (declare (flags nsw))))
       (llvm return answer)))
   (print (->i64 (sum32 (the i32 20) (the i32 22))))

Even though you can write this by hand, the core idea is to get a very dense and terse language that LLMs can emit while guaranteeing safety and performance.
