Stronger how?

Definitely more explicit by default though.

But yes, very neat. I'd miss Enumerable though, if they manage to get that to play with manual allocation that would be even neater.

I loved Ruby. I've since settled on Kotlin as a good enough "typed Ruby", and a "sufficiently better Java" + the JVM as "good enough for me".

Compiling to native is neat. But productivity (LLM-ability, lib ecosystem, will-still-be-maintained-in-20y) is key for me :)
