-It’s an open secret: the “secret project” I’ve been talking about is a new systems programming language. It’s been underway since December ‘19, and we hope to release the first version in early 2021. The language is pretty small — we have a mostly complete specification which clocks in at 60 pages. It has manual memory management, no runtime, and it uses a superset of the C ABI, making it easy to link with libraries and C code. It should be suitable almost anywhere C is useful: compilers, system utilities, operating systems, network servers and clients, and so on.
