Who knows, may be you are right here. I actually thought so at first, but knowing the author personally (he is my former colleague, I had the pleasure of working with him in the same team about 17-18 years ago), his extraordinary abilities and his writing style even before the widespread use of AI, I had my doubts.

There is a github repos and that + code looks also LLM generated to me. Not necessarily bad, if it works for what was intended that is; I just don't have time/patience to try it because of how lazy their web page is. I mean LLMs can DEFINITELY make a lot better pages than this; this what you get if you do it one-shot and publish.

I was about to say the same thing haha

This is the GitHub repo: https://github.com/am-kantox/cure-lang

Compilation Performance
Small files (<100 lines): <1 second
Medium projects (1K-10K lines): 5-30 seconds
Large projects (100K+ lines): 30-300 seconds with incremental compilation
Love that there's an upper limit on compilation time. No matter how large your project gets, it will never take more than five minutes to compile (incrementally).ares623
Super exciting. Can't wait to use this in production. Imagine, using AI to write with a language built with AI, building AI products that AI people use.

Curious what the E, e, e, L and G stand for in the logo.

My money's on L = LLM, G = Generated

The project looks very young. I do like the goals of the project though, and I like that it's on the BEAM.

I would like to see some interesting code examples showcasing the main features.

It absolutely drives me nuts when people spend so much time building something but make it difficult to show you what they’ve built.
A short code snippet (with syntax highlighting thank you) should be the first thing on your page.
I do not have to scroll through a huge wall of text (probably AI generated), 2 images (definitely AI generated), miss it, start clicking links, still not find it, hit the back button, scroll through the slop again, etc.
I want to see the thing, I don’t care about what you have to say about the thing until I can get a sense of the thing.

I do not think that much human time was spent on this actually.

Everything smells of AI here, is it the world's first slop language?

No, I have one too: https://github.com/pshirshov/pascal-llvm

How does this compare to Gleam, in terms of goals, features, etc.?

please keep the erlang ecosystem out of the llm griftosphere. jesus christ.
This is 100% LLM generated; website, documentation and tutorials. There is no link to downloads or a repository. No way to use anything.
Why should anyone care about this?
