We talk about what it's like to write the default language server for an entire language, Zig's unique take on community, and what it's like to hit it "big" in open source.
I had this very experience today! I was looking at some code for markdown parsers (I'm trying to build one in Hare), and I stumbled upon a Nim example. I don't know what it was, but just seeing how complex the author made what seemed like a simple struct to me filled me with dread. I'm sure if I took the time to understand the language it would make sense, but Nim is just one of those languages you need a second glance to understand if you're not already familiar with it.

I've really been enjoying Hare. As a primary Go/Rust developer its syntax and limitations feel like what I've been looking for and it's youth predicates plenty of opportunity to work on new project. When I was working on a ANSI Colors lib [0] last night I spent a lot of time in the community IRC. Your post is basically what everyone's feeling. This is a language designed for people who like it's style. It doesn't need to have this or that feature. And if the community changes their mind, what better candidate than an open source tight-knit young language?
