#13Nice work!! I have always appreciated the clarity of FSMs since first learning about them in college. They are a great way to think about a system's state and given X input, clearly define the next state. This makes them very easy to test as well.

#14Looks cool. It’d be nice if you could output the FSM to some kind of diagram markup (plantuml or mermaidjs).

#16May I suggest for a logo: A directed graph in the form of a sheriff's star badge
Midjourney actually does pretty well with this one (needs a bit of cleanup but shockingly useful as a first draft): https://imgur.com/a/GKzx3vX

#17enums with associated values (like in swift) really are the thing i miss the most in go.

#18A state machine (specifically a FSM) class is something I end up having to reinvent in every new language I've adopted. Such a useful pattern whose need comes up repeatedly. Especially in games/sims or in anything with a GUI. Since I've been making both for decades I have a lot of homegrown FSM classes sitting around. :-p

I am working on a state machine formulation/notation that can be executed.
The runtime is multithreaded and parallel.
The idea is to execute the following state machine:
thread(s) = fact(variable) | send(message) | receive(message2);
thread(r) = fact(variable) | receive(message) | send(message2);
Here's a state machine for an (echo) server that is intended to be mapped to epoll or libiouring:
accept | { submit_recv! | recv | submit_send } { submit_send! | send | submit_recv }

Yeah, yet another Algol 60 missing feature.
I really don't get how one can suggest the iota const dance with a straight face as an alternative.
