Show HN: Bolt – A super-fast, statically-typed scripting language written in C

I've built many interpreters over the years, and Bolt represents my attempt at building the scripting language I always wanted. This is the first public release, 0.1.0!

I've felt like the embedded scene has been moving towards safety and typing over years, with things like Python type hints, the explosive popularity of typescript, and even typing in Luau, which powers one of the largest scripted evironments in the world.

Bolt attempts to harness this directly in the lagnauge rather than as a preprocessing step, and reap benefits in terms of both safety and performance.

I intend to be publishing toys and examples of applications embedding Bolt over the coming few weeks, but be sure to check out the examples and the programming guide in the repo if you're interested!
