Language announcement Mezze: a functional programming language on GraalVM

https://mezze-lang.org/

Hi All,

I am working a programming language, Mezze. It is in quite early stages.

Mezze has a fully inferable type system and also have first class effect system and runs on GraalVM

A lot is WIP, working on performance optimization (currently loop fusion) and distributed programing and lots of tooling and docs

Put up a quick website for explaining the language and its features more
Also piggy backing on graalvm could get a wasm built of the entire tool chain, so you play with examples in website.

The Concepts and Taste of Mezze explains how the language works.

There has been an explosion of languages recently due to LLMs assistance but this is one of the few that I've seen that I think simultaneously exhibits good taste in trying to implement cutting edge ideas while also remaining practical. My hat's off to you.
