TL;DR: could I make a scripting language that saved time and money while encouraging better coding practices? Yes, I think so: duso.rocks and it's open source. Even the best programming models struggle with these pain points Expressive languages like Python and JavaScript are a minefield of subtle runtime errors waiting to happen. Debugging sessions can be a nightmare. More rigid languages like Go catch a ton of errors at compile time. But the overall development time is slower because of its internal complexities. If your stack is filled with hundreds or thousands of dependencies, you're asking your AI bot to understand and choose from among them. Plus you increase the surface area for bugs to cling to. Making Duso Originally, I was just going to add some scripting to another system I'd written in Go. Lua was a natural choice because it's designed to be embedded. I didn't love the idea of having to add C to my build process, so I looked at pure Go implementations. They were lacking in
