Documented compatibility; coverage may be incomplete. Written in describes implementation, not user-project language support.

Compiler development uses Rust source and Cargo tests. This is implementation evidence, not Rust program compatibility.

### What we like

Designed to be an easy systems language. Provides low-level control over memory (without GC) whilst still offering safety and avoiding ownership. Uses result types for error handling. Compilation metadata included with source code to avoid needing to rebuild every time. Has a built in module system.

### Tradeoffs

It’s still experimental and some core features like memory management aren’t final yet.
