Ideas that I might actually get to some day

• use semantics like 'r for read-only, use stack returns.

• functions are first class citizens, where return code isn't executed when return is ignored etc

• generics over templates

• make it a goal to ACTUALLY translate directly to assembly. C doesn't achieve this well enough.

• make it so that signed integers are the result of a signed + unsigned result to prevent errors.

• +, -, *, /, etc defined for arrays, multidim array types etc.

• Define "undefined" behavior like i = i++;

• Optional Chaining using ?.

  • Would change the type of the resulting expression to T?
