Thank you for making me aware of Clean, on quick glance it looks cool.

I like a lot of things about Rust: it’s got compiler checked exhaustive pattern match and a good initialization syntax and Either baked in and fucking correct package management and a ton of other things.

I’ll look at Clean to see if linear-only memory management can be done gracefully. Rust is a lot of cool things but not the language that demonstrated that.

There is also Austral, which has linear types as a main capability: https://austral-lang.org/
