We validated 7 different systems programming languages across three dimensions:
1. Type safety
2. Ease of use
3. Frequency of footguns
To make the results scientifically undeniable, we visualized everything using the BALLS framework.
Behold our benchmarks. Exported via ffmpeg-rs

Also want to thank my cofounder @georgecurtiss for helping me turn this idea into a real thing and keeping us on the right path. Our insane team and all those who have helped & contributed @cachecrab @el_yawd @HSVSphere @profleonn @gwuwong @puttasync, you've been unreal. And of course the 🐐's @daltonc & @Mentioum for your unparalleled wisdom and guidance.
