It's definitely odd that someone who allegedly wrote a complete compiler in Python would describe something that is obviously Rust syntax as Python-like.
I totally agree. "Python-like" was a bad choice of words on my part. I meant it more in terms of learning curve and explicitness, not the surface syntax. Structurally its more like C/Rust and I should have said that from the start
Yes, I used AI during development. I treated it as an assistant for explanations, brainstorming, and occasional small code snippets. The language design, compiler architecture, semantics, and the majority of the implementation were written and decided by me
