Show HN: Beef, a new performance-oriented programming language
Author here. I'm the engineering co-founder of PopCap Games. I left PopCap after the EA acquisition, and I've been working on this project mostly full-time for the last five years.<p>Before Beef, I was developing game code in C# and engine code in C++ and I felt C# was just much more pleasant to work with - faster compile times, better IDE tooling, better errors, etc. Then it struck me that none of the things I liked about C# really had anything to do with the JIT or the GC, and it may be possible to create a "best of" merging between C# and C++.<p>I know there are other "C replacement" contenders out there - the differences are probably best explained through Beef's specific design goals listed at <a href="https://www.beeflang.org/docs/foreward/" rel="nofollow">https://www.beeflang.org/docs/foreward/</a>
