> curious about Odin, I'm mostly a go dev so getting something without the GC and go schedule that writes similarly is really interesting to me.

It's very pleasant. Reminds me a lot of Pascal, but modern and even nicer to write. There's some Go inspiration but I'd say it's more like Pascal than Go. More full featured than Pascal or C, simpler than C++ or Rust. C bindings are super easy to use. Has array maths, Fortran style... I use it whenever I have an excuse to (not often enough). Super fun, just missing a large ecosystem (but it's also got bindings to enough stuff for a young language).
