DeVault: Announcing the Hare programming language

I wouldn't deny that, but:
- the law is behind a paywall
- lots of modern abstractions in interfaces sadly make it almost impossible to follow. Using a lot of foo_t everywhere without even telling you whether they're signed/unsigned, 32/64 causes lots of trouble when you have to perform operations on them, resulting in you being forced to cast them and enter into the nasty area of type promotion. That's even worse when you try hard to avoid an overflow based on a type you don't know and the compiler knows better than you and manages to get rid of it.

We're really fighting *against* the compiler to keep our code safe these years. This tool was supposed to help us instead. And it failed.
