What a great language, seriously. Unfortunately I have no hopes that I'll gain any significant traction.
Huh, I keep hearing more and more about it in places I'd never suspect.
Some examples?
Certainly, it is in domain of forecast, however I see it as a good target for natural migration of (Object) Pascal developers and use cases for Python developers in need of native, fast and small executable etc.
Why so?
It's competing with Golang, D and Crystal, also with C++ and Rust to some extent.

Except Crystal every other language in this list have some kind of corporate backing and is experiencing orders of magnitude more growth.
