The closest thing would be the book that Ivo Balbaert is writing and that's available here: https://github.com/Ivo-Balbaert/The_Way_to_Jai this is also good: https://github.com/Jai-Community/Jai-Community-Library/wiki

Odin appears to only recently have been pressing the claim of Go alternative, as a new direction in its marketing hype. There are Go and Pascal influences, but Odin is arguably much more similar to and an alternative of Jai[1][2] (from Jon Blow). Maybe the strategy is to try to distance itself from the label of Jai-clone or Jai-lite. If Jai goes public beta or releases books (upcoming from Ivo Balbaert), then Jai has the potential to kill off Odin, which appears to only been able to keep a smallish following (relatively fewer GitHub stars and lack of Wikipedia page) since its birth in 2015 or 2016. Odin's popularity, seems dependent on Jai not being public yet. The languages which are truly close to Go, are: Go+ (goplus)[3], V (vlang)[4], and Borgo[5]. V has the methods on structs, as you have mentioned. Go+ and Borgo compile to Go. V com

Comparatively > Incremental rebuilds cause a lot of compilation problems, bugs, and errors. Incremental rebuilds are also slow due to the amount of in between files generated between builds. Jai will contain no incremental rebuild steps. All will be compiled in one fresh compilation. This means that the compiler will need to run fast with high performance. The eventual goal is to compile a 1 million lines of code in 1 second, but as of right now, the compiler can only do 250,000 lines in 1 second. https://github.com/Jai-Community/Jai-Community-Library/wiki/...

Either ask very politely for years, or be in denial like half the Jai community that writes Jai but is never able to compile it. Yes, there is a whole Jai community wiki made from half cobbled together knowledge (https://github.com/Jai-Community/Jai-Community-Library/wiki), and a super secret discord made for the super elite, non-compiler-having plebs are banned.

It is really striking, the difference in *everything* between some beta quality programming language projects and approaches of people behind them. - Effort applied; To be tailored for certain kinds of projects; Solve problems in existing languages; Approaches to prevent/force adoption of beta quality project; Philosophical approaches behind project or lack thereof. Now on the personal, subjective note, the more I look, the more I want to avoid V and get my hands on Jai [1][2] [1] https://github.com/Jai-Community/Jai-Community-Library/wiki/...

Here's a community run wiki that's been kept up-to-date https://github.com/Jai-Community/Jai-Community-Library/wiki

Odin has similar syntax, but one of the main reasons I am interested in Jai is because it has strong meta-programming support[0], where as Odin doesn't and will likely never due to the author of the language not wanting to go in that direction.

C3: Currently being looked into https://github.com/c3lang/c3c#current-status Zig: https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#Assembly Odin: Looks like it's a dead language, but it was on the docket. https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/blob/master/misc/roadmap.m... Jai: https://github.com/Jai-Community/Jai-Community-Library/wiki/... eC: No clue. Not a great name for googling.

> D suffered from [...] indecision between GC and manual memory management. It is still suffering from that. If you want to manage memory yourself you can't use some parts of the standard library + you can't use a lot of the community packages since they assume there is a GC present. So far it looks like the best alternative is Zig, but sadly it doesn't have some of the higher-level language features such as function overloading, compile-time interfaces (Rust traits) or macros. Jai seems to have most D features and more without the GC [0] but Zig is more likely win popular mindshare since it already is in the open + comes with a C/C++ compiler which is pretty cool.
