Hey guys! Let's all work on a programming project together. We could make some cool thing together. First lets decide what language to use

You appear to be advocating a new functional, "multi-paradigm" and completely incomprehensible programming language. Your language will not work. Here is why it will not work.

You appear to believe that that garbage collection is free, that programmers love writing lots of boilerplate and that "Spooky action at a distance" makes programming more fun.

Unfortunately, your language lacks semicolons, lacks significant whitespace, has macros, has goto, lacks exceptions, has closures, lacks coroutines, lacks reflection, has subtyping and has multiple inheritance.

The following philosophical objections apply:
* Programmers should not need to understand category theory to write "Hello, World!"
* The most significant program written in your language isn't even its own compiler
* No language spec
* The name of your language makes it impossible to find on Google.

Your implementation has the following flaws:
* CPUs do not work that way
* Compilers cannot work that way
* Dangerous behavior is only a warning
* You don't seem to understand basic optimization techniques
* You don't seem to understand basic systems programming.

Additionally, your marketing has the following problems:
* Unsupported claims of increased productivity
* Unsupported claims of greater "ease of use"
* Noone really believes that your language is faster than assembly
* Rejection of orthodox programming-language theory without justification.

Taking the wider ecosystem into account, I would like to note that we already have an unsafe imperative language and you have reinvented PHP but worse.

In conclusion, I think this is a bad language, and you should feel bad for inventing it and programming in this language is an adequate punishment for inventing it.
