Yeah that's not really a niche as much as it is a description of what Hare is. Maybe what would be more helpful are some examples of use-cases you and the rest of the Hare team have in mind when developing this language.


I feel like we're really picking nits at this point. We're using it to develop these things. There are ongoing projects to make a kernel in Hare, POSIX utilities, a password manager, graphics libraries, and so on. There's a list of ongoing projects here which may make this clearer:

I hope that helps.


That's still a list of projects possible to write in Hare, not necessarily good to write in Hare. At this stage I believe (and if true, hope you to clearly state) that Hare exists in the same realm as Sourcehut, that is, the alternative world you and like-minded people prefer. Many programming languages exist mostly to fulfill creators' ego and yet completely deny that fact, which would be unwise in my opinion.
