The Odin Programming Language (odin-lang.org)

I've been following Bill's work on Odin for years now and he has really accomplished a lot. I personally haven't had a use case for it yet but people whose opinions I trust have all had pleasant experiences with it, and it's already being used as a tooling language in at least one production project.

So if you are interested in new languages, and especially "low concept" systems languages, I can heartily endorse this project.


How does performance compare to C/C++?


Odin is comparable with C and C++ in terms of performance and capabilities. It currently uses LLVM as its backend.
