Sounds pleasant and safe to use. I wonder if they plan to use it on their Ladybird browser.
From their readme:
Automatic reference counting
Strong typing
Bounds checking
No raw pointers in safe mode
Null pointers are not possible in safe mode, but pointers can be wrapped in Optional, i.e Optional<T> or T? for short.
Integer overflow (both signed and unsigned) is a runtime error.
Numeric values are not automatically coerced to int. All casts must be explicit.
and more.
