  1. …you write "reasonable" code in C++, it is actually a lot slower than Goose. For details on how, see https://github.com/aardappel/goose

  2. As I mention at the end of https://github.com/aardappel/goose/blob/master/README.md I essentially had it use a previous compiler of mine (Lobster) as a template. Even if you don't have such an example, pick a project that you think has…

  3. it's too late to edit but i saw the prior art on github now https://github.com/aardappel/goose/blob/master/docs/design/p... anyway, hope this project goes well! the secret of the arena allocator seems to be out now to the mainstream. I…

  4. …does it compile if you write return inside the block right below w (where the error occurs)? https://github.com/aardappel/goose#safe-references-no-annota... Hows the compile time? Do you have a number or is it similar to another language?

  7. https://github.com/aardappel/goose/blob/master/samples/18_js... Goose can store entire trees (of variable sized things) inside an array.

  8. …rewriting a memory allocator on top of Goose's stacks. This is what they seem to be doing here: https://github.com/aardappel/goose/blob/master/samples/13_li...

  9. …of blocks of memory instead, and tracked most of it at runtime that Goose now does at compile time. https://github.com/aardappel/goose/blob/master/docs/design/p...

  10. …art on the individual parts of the design, e.g. "regions" and various stack languages etc, see: https://github.com/aardappel/goose/blob/master/docs/design/p... Part of this is that 64-bit address spaces make this design practical, and…

  11. Btw I made the language, AMA. repo: https://github.com/aardappel/goose

  12. …that immediately grabbed my attention (aspirationally; I haven't looked at it closely yet) is https://github.com/aardappel/goose/ . That's not because it has arenas, but because it doesn't have anything else.

  13. …here about a language with another interesting approach, but I have yet to give it a close look: https://github.com/aardappel/goose/ > But I'm mostly working on HPC-style code where I don't have to do with wildly varying input or output…

  14. https://github.com/aardappel/goose/blob/master/docs/tutorial... this bit seems a bit messy.
