- Language designers and developers exploring agent-written code
- Worth noticing
- The page says parallel code compiles today but runs in order on one core; no benchmark currently meets its speed target.
Field notes
The tour separates implemented features from planned ones, including table-based values, block-scoped cleanup, lazy streams, and explicit error handling. Build figures and benchmark coverage are presented alongside limitations: the page says the LLVM backend is unfinished and no benchmark meets its target. The homepage provides Cargo commands for building from source, but says there is no release yet.
