Show HN: Ironwall, a safety-first native programming language and compiler

Hi HN,

I have been working on a new programming language and compiler.

The compiler is written in TypeScript at the moment, and work on a self-hosting compiler written in Ironwall is ongoing.

I would be interested in feedback.

Thank you.

Vouched. This looks like an interesting project noteworthy enough for HN.

Also first confused the name with Ironwail, the Quake 1 source port
