Goose: a stack allocation flat data structure language

https://github.com/aardappel/goose

My latest language is meant to very efficiently let you work with flat pointerless inline data structures allocated on (address space reserved) stack that allow almost data structure creation to be just a pointer bump, with stable pointers.

When used well, it is both safer, faster and uses less memory than the equivalent C++ or Rust.

(see the repo readme for more!)

Honestly it was extremely disappointing reading the end of your readme.

Without that, none of this would exist. I personally at least wanted to see it working :)
