Goose is a new memory-safe systems programming language that eliminates the need for a heap allocator, garbage collector, and lifetime annotations. Claims in its repository benchmarks suggest it can run faster than both C++ and Rust while consuming less memory.
Background
Goose is an open-source project on GitHub aiming to provide a safer alternative to Rust and C++ by removing manual memory management complexity entirely. It targets developers who want systems-level control without the ergonomic challenges of ownership/borrowing or GC overhead.
