Thanks for letting me know! I couldn’t find anything about Bitlocker as antivirus but assuming you’re talking about BitDefender (which also has flagged it). I’ve submitted a false positive report.

It looks like a few vendors are flagging the URL. [1] Not sure why. Nothing sticks out at me on urlscan [2] You may have to reach out to those vendors to see what is tickling their detectors.

Hmm interesting, if anyone can help me track down why I would greatly appreciate it!

hurl has the enjoyable duality where it can mean throw or vomit, where in the case of this language's curious construction both meanings apply.

This was a consideration in naming the language

it is most admirable naming <3.

This is incredibly funny and also brilliant: toss/return is an implementation of algebraic effects!

call/cc as the only control flow primitive!

Algebraic effects use delimited continuations (and this appears to match toss/return). Call/cc captures an undelimited continuation. Totally different.

I trust you already obtained the proper licenses from your local authorities before designing and implementing a new programming language? And those licenses are on file with the major security vendors?
