Hi everyone,

I'm currently developing a new programming language and would love to get your feedback on its design and features. Here are some of the key goals and features of the language:

Interoperability with C: Seamless integration with existing C code.
Safety: Strict type checking and memory safety features to prevent common errors.
Performance: Optimized for parallelism and concurrency, leveraging GPGPU for high performance.
Simplified Syntax: Designed to do more with less typing, making coding faster and more efficient.
Automatic Parallelization: The compiler handles thread creation and parallelization, simplifying the developer's job.
Asynchronous Programming: Built-in support for asynchronous coding and event-driven I/O.
Memory Management: Uses memory pools and restricts memory allocation to improve efficiency and safety.
Error Handling: Simplified function argument checks and return value handling to make error management easier.
Numerical Approach: An innovative algorithm that removes traditional memory pointers, using a 100% numerical approach to enhance safety and performance.
Custom VM: Runs on a custom virtual machine optimized for GPGPU, further enhancing performance and scalability.
User-Defined Error Handling: Users can specify what should happen when allocated memory is insufficient or when an index is out of range, such as adjusting the size, giving an error, or converting to a new range through a calculation

What are your thoughts on these features and goals? How do you think this language could benefit your development process, and are there any additional features or improvements you would suggest?
