I really respect Drew and his work/advocacy. I think what most enchants me about Hare is that it's not a "take over the world" language. It's pure FOSS engineering: there's nothing out there that does what I want, so I'll (build a community to help me) build it. Love it.



I contributed to this project for this reason. Hare exists as itself and for a purpose. The libre ethos, the simplicity, the design, with people and the future in mind. The dilligence in having a standard, the commitment to supporting libre platforms, and not bending knees to non-free ones just because they are the norm; e.g. not being afraid to dream. Not adopting whatever hype-train technology bandwagon or corporate interest. Hare stands out as something special.


This is why I will be using it, besides the fact that it's designed to be a modern C replacement that feels like C, but without the bad parts.
