The README on gitlab at least has a sentence or two on that: https://gitlab.com/FascinatedBox/lily

> An interpreted language with a focus on expressiveness and type safety

Personally I think typed scripting languages could be the future. They should support AOT compilation where necessary.

I am curious as well. some past readme has Why sections and I am not sure why they are removed/changed

this have "Why" section https://gitlab.com/FascinatedBox/lily/-/blob/d3ace2907747106...

this have "How Lily stands out from other languages:" section https://gitlab.com/FascinatedBox/lily/-/blob/785a88534cced53...

Not a language, but we are having very good success using https://brannn.github.io/simplex/ for autonomous one-shot workflows. It seems to be a very high-fidelity input for LLMs.

Yes -> https://mruby.org

It's also incredibly easy to extend the main Ruby implementation with C, C++, Odin, Zig, Rust, Fortran, etc... Literally a few lines.

January 2026 might be the month of langs created to be used by AI. Usually the chief concern is saving on tokens, prompted by context window anxiety. (This completely disregards the fact that agents thrash the context window by doing wrong things, then attempting to fix them; or by reading unrelated stuff; or by calling unhelpful tools; etc)
