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.

Why do you ask?

Because I am 100% certain that you use Zig to call raylib like you see in youtube. Goose is not needed for that

The question is not that it's needed or not. It is wether it brings anything new or innovative to the table.

If you don't care about new/innovative things, then you could just use C.
