What I really want to see from a "*-programming-language" post on HN is _why_. Why Lily?

>>onesev+fEb
From the link:

> Key features of Lily:

> Built-in template mode

> Embed/extend in C

> Single-inheritance classes

> Exceptions

> Generics

> Algebraic data types (with Option and Result predefined).
