User defined optimizations
One of the hardest things for me to reconcile as I build this language is how to make it high-level, while still providing the ability to do relatively low-level things. I would make it completely low-level, however Rust already exists as a well-liked, mature, production-ready, memory-safe language with many of the same features I hope to build into Wright. Building Wright as another low-level language with a borrow checker and functional programming elements would not only make it completely derivative of Rust, but also introduce many of the same drawbacks that Rust has in terms of expressing Futures & other complex memory-related types and in terms of learning-curve (especially around the borrow checker).
In order to do both, the vast majority of programming in wright will be covered under a garbage collector. Programmers will write classes, enums, and unions, without ever thinking too hard about memory allocation or management.
