  7. Do you have a new systems programming project on your todo list? If you're
  8. feeling adventurous, I would like you to give it a crack in our new systems
  9. programming language, and to use it to drive improvements in the less-developed
  10. areas of our standard library.
  12. **Note**: we have enough projects on board now. Keep an eye on the blog, I'll
  13. publish another announcement when we're ready for more.
  15. Are you making a new coreutils implementation? A little OS kernel? A new shell?
  16. A GUI toolkit? Database system? Web server? Whatever your systems programming
  17. use-case, we think that our language is likely to be a good fit for you, and
  18. your help in proving that, and spurring development to rise to meet your needs,
  19. would be quite welcome.
  21. Here's our pitch:
  23. > XXXX is a systems programming language designed to be simple and robust. XXXX
  24. > uses a static type system, manual memory management, and a minimal runtime.
  25. > It is well-suited to writing operating systems, system tools, compilers,
  26. > networking software, and other low-level, high performance tasks. 
  28. You can get a peek at how it feels by [reading about the finger server I wrote
  29. with it][0].
