Not to give you a definitive answer, but you'd probably be really interested in Vale.

It's still early days, but there's a lot of clever ideas that most languages can't take advantage of that you'd probably be really interested in.

There's only one core developer (who is currently on a temporary medical break), but there's a lot of programming language theory discussion in the discord.

Well this is just a confusing title.

"Device Posture is now supported in ACL Tests" makes it sound like the physical posture of the user while using a device is getting checked in an ergonomics test

The solution is simple: Remove the dagger mid-combat.

You could make the dagger too hot to hold and it falls out of reach (off a mountain, into rushing water, etc...)

You could make the dagger dissolve away (through lava, acid, being eaten, etc...)

You could make something take the dagger (disarming, stealing, etc...)

A hag/genie/etc could place a curse on the PC (holding anything makes them experience immense pain and drop what they're holding, anything dagger they hold is turned into a spoon, etc...)

Another way of reading it is: "GitUI is unfinished, but the parts that are done are amazing"

I think you're forgetting about the Animation API.

Example: making something flash once to get a user's attention

element.animate( {opacity: [1, 0, 1]}, { duration: 500 } );

Use CSS animations everywhere you can, but if you need to be able to hook into an animation (to dynamically change the speed, cancel something, sync animations together, etc...) you should be using the Animation API.

There's never a need for jQuery.

Are you sure?

Your C# example:

var output = input switch
{
    null    => "Null",
    0       => "Zero",
    > 0     => "Positive",
    _       => "Negative"
};

JS proposal for match:

const output = match input {
    when null:    "Null";
    when 0:       "Zero";
    if input > 0: "Positive";
    default:      "Negative";
}

Match already returns the value which can be thrown into a variable.

What do you mean about animations?

Every use-case I can think about is already well supported by vanilla css/js without libraries or frameworks. (not including really out-there use-cases like game engines or image editors)

Can you give an example?

DOM attributes are built for browsers and frameworks to take advantage of.

The style of some of those frameworks to stick symbols in there is downright weird. But that only goes against those particular frameworks. It doesn't impact how good DOM attributes actually are.

Svelte uses labels, so Svelte itself is weird compared to everything. Except in a way to assembly and 50s goto-control-flow styled code.

But why bother with creating a new language

I can just do items.map(item => 〈Item key={item.id} item={item} /〉)

I don't think this is a very good example. You've just said not to use a new language, then used JSX, a new language.

I have yet to be given an example of something a “general” intelligence would be able to do that an LLM can’t do.

Presenting...

Something a general intelligence can do that an LLM can't do:

Play chess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvTs_nbc8Eg

Why can't it play it? Because LLM's don't have memory, so they can't work with logic. They are the same as the little "next word predictor" in your phone's keyboard. It just says what it thinks is the most probable next word based on previous words, it's not actually thinking or understanding anything. So instead, we get moves that don't make sense or are completely invalid.
