Language goals

• Be distributed out of the box. Concurrency and distribution should be easy to do.

  • As a result, the language would benefit from immutable data structures
  • Functional languages are best fit candidates for these kind of tasks

• Be fast. If the benefits of distributed calculations are outdone by poor optimisation, this would be useless.

• Be safe and high-level. The programmer should work on a theoric machine, and as such, the language should abstract away the inner work.
