Hi everyone,

I launched doo: Simple Fast and Secure compiled programming language written in rust+LLVM.

My Idea is to have simplicity to write server apis with minimalist and clean syntax. Not started as hobby project but I wanna grow this.

I got many feedback and suggestions here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45797044 that I need some specific feature for doolang or have to turn this in unique product. But I don't have any buzzing idea or feature except minimalist and clean syntax with speed and security for writing server apis where compiler may do behind the scene magic to have high level syntax without any compromise.

What do you think, any idea or suggestion to turn dooalng any domain specific language or any killing unique feature or anything that make doolang its place? My intensions is not to replace any existing language. I will release built in methods and std library in upcoming release, so its just staring of doolang yet, after it will add more test cases and memory test and bug fixes more. And http router is next planned after those.

Any suggestions from community will be valuable.

If you want my suggestion, it would be to avoid Unicode string types (a byte string would be better), and also to have integers bigger than 32-bits. These do not seem to be the kind of suggestions you had wanted, although they would avoid some significant problems.
