SystemsStatic

An experimental language with maximum safety (5.0) from only 50 concepts — less than half of Rust's 110. Achieves this through capability-based effects, a borrow checker, and Maybe types for absence instead of null. No exceptions, no implicit dispatch, no OOP — a deliberately narrow design that proves safety doesn't require complexity.

Profile only — no benchmark solutions yet.
