The Blow programming language

The developer of Braid has streamed two talks so far (with more to come) on his pain points in language design. He's uploaded the recordings here:

It seems to me that what he actually wants is more or less Rust, but he doesn't realize it because he's hung up on design decisions that strike him as opinionated, when really they're the natural outcome of the overall design constraints ("no GC, no run-time type checking if we can help it," and so on) or represent planned features that merely have yet to be implemented. Then again, the D community is saying something similar, and I don't know D as well as Rust so I'm not sure what to think.

The spiral rule is wrong, see what Linus says:

And I suppose you find maths hard too? Reading declarations is like reading expressions. Just as like anyone older than 12 who has a brain knows ( ) is read before * and / and before + and - , every C programmer knows [ ] and ( ) are read before *.
