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

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

Lisette โ€” 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. Itโ€™s certainly a nice language, with good error handling and so on. But itโ€™s also very complex; Go is much simpler and perfectly adequate for 90% of the requirements one has for a programming language. Iโ€™m only a limited fan of Rust; if I needed full control over memory, Iโ€™d probably go with #ziglang instead.
@leobm Rust approach is to eliminate confusion, have a good practices and get rid off garbage collector. I think they did excellent approach with these. However I do agree sometimes it's overkill for some simple scripts or projects. Once the compexity goes up Rust can really shine. Yet I see Go's simplicity as a nice thing and to be honest choice between them is mostly - Rust hard, Go easier (and faster to write).
