Have: a new language that transpiles to Go

If I had one recommendation to increase your projects chance of success it would be to make sure a snippet of code is shown right away. On your homepage, on your github page, where ever you think someone will encounter the project for the very first time.

This seems to be a common problem with programming language projects, at least initially, so I'm not trying to berate or shame you just point it out.

Anyways it does look interesting and I'm always happy when I see python inspired syntax!

To add to this: show some of the banner features of the language - what makes it different to X or Y, and why would I want to use it or look into it more.

Thanks! Yeah, now it does seem bad that I haven't put any snippets on the front page. I'll fix that later today.

I really like the side by side comparisons here: https://www.scala-js.org/

Yep, good advice, and I admire the degree of encouragement you're giving.

I stopped reading when I timed out, still having no idea what the point is here, other that an exercise for the author. Make the case up front somehow, but make the sale while you still have eyeballs looking.
