> a type safe language with a single solid toolchain

Been paying the bills for 5.5 years now writing in one that gets a fair amount of stick for being ~6.7 years with no language version releases (one is planned for this summer though that should make it just under 7). There's one compiler, one standard library, one formatter (with no config options), one linter, and two test runners but one is a rust rewrite of the other one so it's chill. The language being on a timeout has led to all kinds of things like compilers for native (consuming the intermediate representation .o files), fullstack un-forks (no change to syntax of language), fullstack actual forks, really a lot of weird but delightful activity.

It's like me and a few hundred other people, so "unified" is the part that's missing, haha.
