Is there a discord server or somewhere to chat about this?

I work on compilers for a living and I really like the ideas here. I'd love to chat and get an idea of what your plans are and help push things forward. I agree with all the design choices so mostly I'd just want to help implement your plans. I'm always happy to suggest ideas but I'm not interested in ruining your stuff, I'm happy with how it's all coming along so I'm just looking to get involved on execution.

Hi and thank you for offering to help!

No Discord server that I know of. Community building takes time and effort and I've my hands a bit full at the moment, so I've been keeping it async via GitHub discussions and email. Happy if users would like to self-organize.

Curious about your ideas! Especially given your background. Please feel free to post any and all suggestions. I do read everything even if sometimes it takes me a bit to answer. I'd like to start posting RFCs with upcoming plans as time allows.

The bottleneck today is not so much speed of execution as actually having the time to slow down and think through long-term choices. Another bottleneck is reaching more users to help exercise the emit and interop layers, which are still settling. Eliciting bugs and challenging my assumptions as you use the language would help the most in these early days.

Gotcha, no problem at all. Thank for the reply :)

one suggestion btw, using https://github.com/bruits/sampo for managing crate versioning and publishing. It's just like changeset from javascript land but works great for rust crates.

I am building a compiler for Cappuccino/Objective-J as we speak. :-)
Porting the toolchain from Node to Golang was initiated prior to the release of Lisette.

OCaml would have been preferable but was not practical from a community support perspective and Golang is a better fit for the other components in the toolchain.
Lisette's appearance could not have been better timed.

That's really cool :)
