Show HN: Beef, a new performance-oriented programming language

1) VSCode was not able to accomplish the development experience I wanted, but I would certainly support a BeefLang language server for VSCode (and other editors/IDEs).

2) Like C, BeefLang idiomatically allows certain types of safe data patterns that the Rust checker would disallow since they cannot be reasonably statically proven to be safe. If you want to conform to Rust patterns then use Rust. If you don't, then BeefLang is another choice for you.

3) Do you mean if the IDE supports C++? It used to support Clang autocompletion and such, but it just wasn't anywhere near the quality of VS Intellisense so I just took it out and I still use VS for C++ editing.

4) Command-line compiler only.

Thanks. By c++ integration support I meant able to use C++ headers and link to C++ binaries.

This is really a great project, very pragmatically oriented, I wish you well. It's hard for any new language to gain momentum without underlying platform buy-in (i.e. Kotlin became 'a thing' when Google adopted it for Android). But I hope you can find an angle.
