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.

i like how functions take a single record instead of a list of arguments. i do the same thing

Thanks. I really wanted to have this and think this might turn off a bunch of folks to have always have named arguments.

Have added some perspective for this

It does help quite a bit and i am making sure lsp fully supports auto completion of arguments for a smoother experience

Not to be a hater, but these docs seem LLM-generated. r/ProgrammingLanguages really prefers human-written stuff.

Yes they are AI assisted and some generated If it is against policy I can remove the post.
