Description

So i've been working on this project since a few days (or months i should say), it's called wyzer (meaning wiser) it's a statically typed, compiled, resource-oriented programming language with integrated distributed safety via choreographic programming and perceus memory model, The reason why i began this project is out of frustration from Rust, you see it does provide safety for your memory by the strict type checking but what it does not gurantee safety against are distributed deadlocks which is basically a few independent nodes or services wait permanently for resources or messages held by each other, forming a circular wait, the rest are cross-service correctness and protocol mismatch as well. If we are specific over here Wyzer works on mainly generalizing the concept of choreographic programming in a high level programming language because its the very few attempts of actually solving these gaps of safety. Instead of borrow checkers and lifetimes wyzer has linear/affine types and a perceus reference counting which is computationally much simpler for an LSP to understand as wellafter 5 months of research and a few weeks of development i am soon going to release version 0.1.0 of it, if you would like to contribute to it you're most welcome!

Could you build this?

No Building a statically typed compiled programming language featuring choreographic distributed programming and the Perceus reference counting memory model requires advanced compiler design and formal type theory expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires an LLVM or native assembly backend, AST parser, typechecker implementing choreographic projection semantics for distributed execution safety, and reference counting with reuse analysis based on the Perceus model (similar to Koka). Typically built in Rust, OCaml, or C++. This demands deep research expertise in programming language theory, memory management, and distributed systems.

Discussion

20 comments analyzed.

Competitors mentioned: Rust, Zig, Java, C++, Python

Concerns raised: Language posted to HN before beta, destroyed project reputation, WIP/unpolished state when users expected finished product, Account impersonation/authenticity issues, Memory safety with shared data structures, Unclear elevator pitch/value proposition

Feature requests: Clearer header/elevator pitch in documentation, More complete documentation before launch, Simpler syntax without excessive abbreviations
