* A simpler, context-free, expression-oriented syntax
* A standard library free of the constraints of POSIX or the C standard
+Our language currently supports Linux on x86_64 or aarch64, and we plan on expanding this to the BSDs, Haiku, and Plan 9; as well as i686, riscv64 and riscv32, and ppc64 before the release.

I plan to continue keeping the other details a secret until the release — we want the first release to be a complete, stable, production-ready programming language with all of the trimmings. The first time most people will hear about this language will also be the first time they can ship working code with it.
However, if you want to get involved sooner, there’s a way: we need your help. So far, we’ve written most of the spec, the first of two compilers, and about 15,000 lines of the standard library. The standard library is what needs the most help, and I’m seeking volunteers to get involved.
