Just published Luma 🌙 — a small programming language designed to be kind. Explicit types, gentle errors, low cognitive load.
Built with AI assistance by someone who can't write code independently. That's kind of the point — tools should work for everyone.

@dylanisaiah Except the errors messages it's kinda like JavaScript?
I understand the idea but not the execution. Why fall back into the pitfalls of another language (e.g. only 4 types)?

@lviardcretat there will be more types, we're not finished building yet, I just wanted to get it published to GitHub so we could have commits for reverting and stuff. Do you mind explaining what you mean by fallbacks? I'd like to avoid/fix those

@dylanisaiah I don't know your pathology, but I see that it looks a lot like Python in terms of visual simplicity. The language is very clean compared to Rust, for example. Were you inspired by that?

@lviardcretat Honestly yes, Python's readability was an influence. The goal was visual simplicity without Python's "magic" — explicit types, no implicit coercion, no surprises.
