Lisette - A little language inspired by Rust that compiles to Go

It looks nice, yesβ€”this could be a better version of Go. It has elements of Rust and Vlang. A very interesting compromise.

Lisette β€” Rust syntax, Go runtime

Little language inspired by Rust that compiles to Go.

@leobm why not go all-in into Rust?
@psyhackological I only partially understand the
hype surrounding Rust. It’s certainly a nice language, with good error handling and so on. But it’s also very complex; Go is much simpler and perfectly adequate for 90% of the requirements one has for a programming language. I’m only a limited fan of Rust; if I needed full control over memory, I’d probably go with #ziglang instead.
@psyhackological But yes, there are certainly some things that could be improved in Go. I actually really like the way error and optional handling works in #vlang or #ziglang.
@leobm Go's error handling is the most simple cave man like approach as it can get. I like ? operator in Rust though.
