### 🌱 q

A programming language that is best described as a modern `C` with a focus on simplicity.
The compiler is:

- 16x faster than gcc/clang
- 14x faster than Go
- 100x smaller in code size

The executables are tiny, requiring just 106 bytes for a `Hello` program on top of headers.

The execution speed is currently equivalent to unoptimized machine code but there is work being done in this area to get closer to C/Go/Rust/Zig.

Cross-compilation for Linux, MacOS and Windows works out of the box.
