Great start! Just want to say, you did all the right things: Simple instructions, to the point and, and I can't stress this enough - examples. Like 9/10 when someone shares their language, they have little to no examples and it's the first thing people ask for. I do think you could probably have a few more examples that are like the calculator and less of what's basically a one liner. On the language: I like what's there so far. It's clean minimalist, and familiar. The problem is that there's not really a USP that I can see. I get the rust but with reference counting, but I don't think that's even close to enough. There has to be a really really good reason for people to try and use a new programming language. And I don't really see the overall vision beyond a small hobby project (which is fine if that's what you were aiming for) > Missing a killer feature? Yes, very much so. |

And really make sense your point to have usp or any unique or good feature doolang should have. As this is just starting point of doolang, and honestly i never started this as hobby project I want this to be mature over years not to replace any languge but to have simplicity for writing servers and apis. after few months I will definitely integrate this with my own production note taking app once i improve this language.
Reference counting i Introduce for auto memroy mgmt only, as rust ownership and borrow method will be extreme complex to implement as solo dev i feel.
But now im clear now language should have any special feature or target which is lacking, idk what to find for this, but it will be valuable if you can suggest, im also thinking to have new post to ask feedback from community what they want in such language. Any suggestion?
