Why Can't We Just Create?

In a world where computers are becoming the norm, every piece of software that gets released seemingly always has to be better than the last at what it's doing.

Every language announcement I see is a declaration of war.
Like "Why [X] is obsolete in 2025.", "The [Y] killer just arrived."
And I'm tired of it.

I made a programming language.

Not because it's faster than Rust.
Not because it's safer than C.
Not because it's simpler than Go.

I made it because I wanted to.
When did that become not enough?

I made Miel because I like ;; as comments.
I made Miel because I like affine and permission types.
I made Miel because I wanted a language that feels like riding a bike.

Not because it's "better than Rust" or "better than C++" or "better than Ada" but because it's mine.
And maybe that's the only reason anyone needs.

So here's Miel. Use it or don't. Rust is great. Odin is great. Jai will be great. But this one? This one's cozy.

;; Happy coding.
