DeVault: Announcing the Hare programming language

The problem with doing that in the security field is that people who know less about security than the person who wrote the code will absolutely use it insecurely and never realize it, because most security failures are silent failures.

If you're doing it as a hobby, it should be your obligation to advertise it as NOT being secure enough for deployment for anything handling sensitive information.

I’ve always disliked this interpretation of how language creators and other programmers interact. Yes, Drew made this language on his own as a “hobby” (although I think this drastically understated how hard it is to make a language work well), but he’s also trying to convince us to use it. Unless if Drew is happy with only his projects using Hare, which I doubt is the case, how regular programmers will interact with the language and the standard lib matters a lot.
