Show HN: Valk – new programming language with a stateful GC

Greetings HN, I have been working on a new programming language for the last 3 years and thought it was time to share it with some people. The core of the language is done and i have been using it to create all software related to the language: the compiler itself, the website and vman (valk manager, like npm). There's still alot of work todo but was hoping for some feedback. Maybe an interesting feature of the language is (so i think) that it's the first language with a stateful garbage collector. It basically knows what memory goes out of scope and which doesn't without having to scan for it. So no more mark/sweep. This new GC algorithm is kind of complex and i would probably need a big blog post to explain everything. Something i will do in the future. Anyhow, feedback is welcome.
