My only comment, there are must nicer system programming languages that could have been host, I am mainly thinking OCaml, as for me zig would have also been nicer than C++

My main objection to C++ is that in 2025 its not a language I would want to learn or use, nothing about its inherit qualities

I hear you! There are millions upon millions of lines of C++ in production, though. C++ is still the de facto language in game dev and many other industries. I'd choose Rust over C++ for any greenfield project, but C++ isn't going anywhere.

I'm starting with C++ interop but will aim to provide interop with other native langs going forward, thanks to LLVM.
