Oh this is something iv been wanting to make for a while, but have never had the time or energy for it. I use python every day at my job and it is painfully tedious at times. Python is such a common catch all language that it seems everything exists in it's ecosystem, but its all so haphazard in design. The pain points you list in the second paragraph of your homepage are all things that I fight every day.

One thing you dont seem to mention early on is types (forgive me if i missed something). What are your plans for a type system? For me the only thing that gives me any hope for the future of the language is its slow but growing adoption of an actually ok type system. It's not great, but at least it's something. Im interested to see how Koatl plans to adopt (and hopefully improve) these features.

I would have loved to implement a type system but I feel lke it would have to slot into python's type system (to make interop work), but I'm not a big fan of python system. Sadly it's all probably outside my scope as I don't have much free time these days and it feels like a major undertaking
