The Golden Spike, and Resurrecting the Vale(n) Programming Language
Summary
The article outlines an ambitious project to resurrect a Rust-like language called Valen, focusing on cross-language interop with Rust, memory safety across boundaries, and a novel approach to generics. It covers design choices, experimental features like open interface constructors, monomorphizers, and the plan to patch the Rust compiler to enable seamless collaboration between Valen and Rust.
