Field notes from building Sky Lang.
"If it compiles, it works" is a slogan a dozen languages have used. In Sky Lang it's a contract — defined precisely, enforced by three release gates, and load-bearing for every decision the language makes. Here's what the contract says, how it's enforced, and the bug class that proved removing a single line of CSS can close five filed bugs.
Twelve weeks ago I started building a new language. Today it's at v0.15.55 with 1,232 commits, 35 examples, and 485 compiler specs. Here's the bet, the principles that held, and why I believe Sky Lang is the language AI builds production apps in.
