I personally enjoy this article very much, just like what we are doing in KCL language [1]. KCL is a cloud native configuration and policy language, and we have endowed KCL with a semantic level gradual type system. It is a bit like Typescript and you use Javascript to write some project configurations with the Typescript type checker, but we have not completely discarded runtime type checking because as a configuration language, we need to strike a balance between efficiency and stability.

But on the other hand, we are currently facing certain challenges. KCL is somewhat ambiguous in grammar and semantics e.g. the record type, and we are working hard to improve it.

It should be added that we also use Rust to fully build the front-end of the language and compile it into native code using LLVM.
