  • Hacker News
  • Looks cleaner than lua. Unfortunately I think new programming languages kind of need to demonstrate first that they are really viable. So many new languages struggled to retain momentum, such as Io by Steve Dekorte; and some more examples (it is just one semi-random example of many more).
  • Interesting concept I guess. But the website reads like poorly AI generated code. No information as to what the grey and orange bars mean, overlapping text and such.
  • My gripe with new languages like this is that strings are always UTF-8 and that makes it needlessly difficult to parse HTTP headers correctly. This has led to vulnerabilities in the past.
  • It would be nice if the examples included an integration with an existing game engine. Game scripting is a very common use case for those languages.
  • I think (outside hobbies) new programming language development is basically dead at this point. The major use cases have been filled, and there are more forces than ever towards using a battle-tested language with a massive ecosystem. Further, less and less code is being written or read by humans so the actual language ergonomics matter less than ever to those who would fund new language creation.
  • This is by far the most stupid name for a new language imaginable. Shortening it to "cyber" on the landing page too..

    When will devs learn that being able to search for a term on the open internet without having it polluted by normal language is kind of important

  • Looks like it's safer to stick to Lua and use LuaJIT.
  • 2022-2023 on the bottom of the main page, last release from 2023 & most recent commit from 8 months ago... seems almost dead to me
