I added this language to my watch list some time ago and forgot about it, until I got a notification about a new release (0.15) yesterday.

I'm someone who is familiar with system languages (C, Rust) and shell languages (Bash, Zsh, ..). But don't have much experience, at a proficient level, with any languages setting in between.

So I gave Koto's language guide a read, and found it to be very well-written, and the premise of the language in general to be interesting. I only got annoyed near the end when I got to @base, because I'm an anti-OOP diehard ๐Ÿ˜‰

I hope this one well start to enjoy some adoption.

Unrelated, I know, but I'm really interested in your antu-OOP-ness. I don't think I've heard anyone say they're anti a concept like this yet

I can't tell if we are miscommunicating here, or if my leg is being pulled.

You are not aware of staunchly anti-OOP (object oriented programming) people existing? Anti-OOP is a majority position now (always was in my circles). And the holdout proponents would usually only defend one (limited or revisionist) way of doing it, usually referring to some specific language implementation. Long gone is the quintessential list of OOP talking points presented in C++/Java classes in the 90's.

For people new to this, a quick search should lead to an endless stream of results. I found this one immediately which looks decent and covers good ground.

Would unfettered inheritance finally be gone for good?
