Thanks. I would like to see more concatenative pauses as well, so don’t be discouraged from creating your own.
To be honest, I chose Rust because it was the most performant imperative language I know, not so much for its memory safety. I chose to transpile instead of generating LLVM because I wanted to focus on the frontend and type system more than the backend, and LLVM felt like it would get in the way more than enable it.
