Show HN: Vu – a new programming language designed for AI. Rust speeds, Py syntax

AI summary

The author introduces Vu, a programming language developed over roughly six years that aims to combine Python-like, easy-to-read syntax with Rust-style ownership and memory safety, compiling to C for approximately C-level runtime speed. The compiler's own source (about 21,500 lines of Vu) passes `vuc check` in roughly 0.4 seconds, covering parsing, type and borrow checking, and the author says LLMs can read and write Vu out of the box due to its similarity to Python. Vu has no macros and a lighter-weight borrow checker than Rust's, and the author has added security and LLM-efficiency as principles, publishing a battery of tests intended to attack the language.
