First of all, the syntax is very generic and conservative. I’m extremely positive about that. It just looks like C or Typescript or Java to me and I don’t see mysterious diacritical marks.

The next thing is, I need more examples. Read me documents can scroll forever and that’s fine. Add examples for every concept your language wants to cover to it. This is your chance to think things through and make the read me and the language astonishing.

And your AI disclaimer (or your AI’s disclaimer) makes sense.

i'm actively working on the documentation without AI because it has been an awful experience with it , i've also restricted AI from contributing to it in any way except for helping the developer write their commit messages (Refer to AGENTS.md) properly which is pretty much useless anyways, the language is in it's early stages as well and things might change a lot

I love this choice. As I began reading, it was immediately clear that it was deliberately written by the author, not AI marketing slop

also , yes i have an example i reprogrammed donut.c in my programming language and called it donut.wyz https://github.com/rudywasfound/donut.wyz go check it out!

I would like to see an examples directory with a diverse set of example programs. What would be most interesting to me is programs with non-trivial memory usage and data structures, because that's where differences in the memory model would matter. I want to know what's possible and what's not allowed in this language. What makes this different and better than Rust's borrow checker.

Please don't take this personally, trying to offer this as constructive criticism. I don't find this to be a very interesting example of the language. If the main feature is a unique approach to memory/multithreading/network safety, I would like to see an example of a multithreaded networking program that uses dynamic allocations, not a ~100 line a procedure that uses static buffers and terminal IO.
