Nyra – Memory safety of Rust with the simplicity of JS

Nyra – Memory safety of Rust with the simplicity of JS

Hi,

I built Nyra because I love the memory safety and fearlessness that Rust’s ownership model provides, but I often missed the development speed and clean, expressive syntax of JavaScript/TypeScript.

Key Features:

Rust-like Ownership: Compile-time memory management without a garbage collector.

JS-inspired Syntax: Minimalist, familiar, and easy to read.

Optional Typing: Types are optional. The compiler uses aggressive type inference where possible, allowing for a dynamic feel while maintaining performance and safety under the hood.

LLVM Backend: Compiles down to efficient machine code.

The project is still in its early stages, and I’m heavily working on the compiler design. I would love to get your feedback on the syntax, the architecture, and how to handle the edge cases of static ownership with optional typing
