I am very interested in Hylo! I think they're playing in similar spaces. I'd like to explore mutable value semantics for Rue.
One huge difference is that Hylo is using LLVM, whereas I'm implementing my own backends. Another is that Hylo seems to know what they want to do with concurrency, whereas I really do not at all right now.
I think Hylo takes a lot of inspiration from Swift, whereas I take more inspiration from Rust. Swift and Rust are already very similar. So maybe Hylo and Rue will end up like this: sister languages. Or maybe they'll end up differently. I'm not sure! I'm just playing around right now.
Both are playing around in similar spaces, both shared team members for a while, both have a take an automatic memory management that isn’t a garbage collector, both were sponsored by a primary company for a while (Swift still is, I think). There’s a lot of differences too.

How are Swift and Rust very similar? I can search, but want to hear your opinion.
And congrats on starting a language project, even if Just for Fun (Linux). ;)
