Seems pretty popular already, but I have missed this. What's the USP of Jakt over something like native c++, rust or zig? I don't really see the need, would love to hear from someone who knows
I think Andreas and JT wanted something that would tightly integrate/interop with the large existing C++ SerenityOS codebase. I think they also welcomed the opportunity to build a new language, consistent with the SerenityOS ethos of building every part of their OS themselves.
