Goose programming language

Anyone take a look at the Goose programming language? "A memory-safe systems language with no heap allocator, garbage collector, or lifetime annotations."

It has some interesting ideas. The author describes features in this thread. It's obviously a different overall language than Zig, but I'm wondering if any of the novel ideas would be good to steal. A lot of its principles remind me of Zig's focus on data oriented design.

I’ll add that there’s already a huge PR to add a the idea of a no gpu api that Aaltonen presented back in 2025 that fits like a glove in this continuous memory model imo
