Say hello to 🕷️ Widow — built in Rust 🦀 for memory safety 🔐 and blazing-fast performance ⚡
✨ Why Widow?
🧠 Simple, clean syntax
🚀 Interpreted for rapid dev cycles
🧵 Powered by Rust’s legendary borrow checker
🛡️ No more segfaults, ever
👩💻 Looking for maintainers to help ship this fast and make Widow the next big thing!
Let’s build something powerful together 🛠️🔥

Is this like a scripting language?
Oh nvm I saw now that it has python syntax 👍🏼
eager oyster
yeah its a memory safe and fast alternative to python that uses borrow checker instead of garbage collection
eager oyster
yeah i plan to make it interop with rust but the reason i made its because i like rust but i dont like the syntax its too verbose
fervent sequoia
I mean, the project I’m talking about is PumpkinMC which is a minecraft server implementation in rust and apparently a lot of people want simple scripting support for less advanced minecraft/rust developers
So ig widow would be a good choice then?
eager oyster
yeah that would be good one of the use cases for me would ve been for making zed plugins
zed is a rust based ide that i used but its a litle complicated to make plugins if your new to programing since the syntax is simpler it would allow users to make things fast

this looks like a cool language
is this more of a low level kind of language?
eager oyster
and since you dont use the borrow checker yourself it saves you the learning curve

That sounds hella good

no its a highlevel lang similar to python
not finished yet

Btw insane that a sc rapper is dropping a programming language 😭😭
He ain’t only droppin those bars 💯🔥
tight cradle

cool :) I'm making a similar language too but it's more for low level stuff lol
this is a really cool language I hope to be programming in widow
I'll definitely spread the word :)
fervent sequoia
Just starred it
Btw where can I see how to set it up?
Like, if I want to test it out
eager oyster
ill add that in the docs rn it's bugged the interpreter is not working
tight cradle
although I would probably recommend having something better than returning an error in my opinion xD
eager oyster

i plan to keep it simple for err management like go
i might add try catch in the std lib
eager oyster
Like, if I want to test it out
ill let you know when you can use it it's still in alpha

once you have this working use it to replace xtask please 💀
