Goose: 1.16x faster than C++ and 1.12x than safe Rust, while memory safe
Summary
Goose is a memory-safe systems language with no heap, claiming performance advantages over C++ and Rust while memory-safety is achieved without a garbage collector or reference counting. The README covers its design (grow-only data stacks, relative references, no lifetime annotations), benchmarks, build/run instructions, and notes on its AI-assisted development history.
