This is true in the same sense that "a JIT" should really be "a JIT compiler." Used as "a JIT," the term is given new meaning (to refer to a compiler implicitly). And used as "JIT …

The language is, however, designed to be JITted. Languages are not designed in isolation.

Thanks! These are great resources for some cool programs and I will be sure to submit!

I'd absolutely be interested in that type of engagement, papers, and presentations. I haven't written a technical paper before, but tried to make one on the testability here: https…

Great question! I wanted to compile to js with a better interface than emscripten.

I can imagine so; But as a counterpoint, isn't it worse with forced implicit returns, where you never have a choice but to return something, and you have to scan the code carefully…

This is covered in the FAQ. Partly, I allow it because there are no parsing ambiguities with it, so why not. But moreover, depending on type name & variable names, intelligently be…

Thanks! Great comment, I'd planned on adding implicit returns, and may copy rust on that one!

Correct, there is runtime typesafety in javascript. However, type-safety is a spectrum; truthiness and falsiness for instance is not very typesafe. I will revise this to be clearer…

Thanks! I think with programming languages its important that it looks just strange enough. Luckily I have a few simple ideas that drive most of those unique syntaxes, hopefully ma…

Good memory! Yeah, I had posted that to Reddit, where it didn't do too well, but someone posted it here where (for some reason!) it did much better. Figured in addition to the stor…

Hey! Creator of Wake here. This looks like a nice language! Lots of syntactic niceties, and it looks extremely feature complete. Nice work! I'm not surprised you learned a lot give…
