And just so people could still successfully build their projects that day, a compiler switch would appear, "-disable-ramsay".

Looks very interesting. Why did you create it?

I wanted to have a language that accurately supports my way of doing programming and doesn't have many features beyond that, a lean language.

I wanted more clarity and stability and a more Rust like module system and a different conditional compilation system. I absolutely love how those work together in Gordon.

As a nice overall kind of bonus, I could do numerous little tweaks and changes with full freedom. Like the opposite of a death by a thousand paper cuts.

I could revamp the compiler interface too, not that I ever had gripes with dmd's.

And you know this was my dream, it was in me, I had to let it out! :)

Hello,

decided I'd post about my primarily D-influenced programming language here.
...
Website:
https://tjhann.github.io/gordon-web/

 1 // The default enum base type is ubyte to not bloat structs (better for cache use).
 2 enum MODE : int {
 3     FAST,
 4     DEEP,
 5     ADAPTIVE,
 6 }
 7
 8 int main()
 9 {
10     auto m = MODE.DEEP;
11
12     // A switch on enum must be exhaustive of course.
13     switch (m) {
14         case MODE.FAST:
15             break;  // empty case falls through by default – use break to avoid
16         case MODE.DEEP:
17             int a = 1234;
18             goto;   // fall through
19         case MODE.ADAPTIVE:
20             // do something
21     }
22
23     return 0;
24 }

Where does "goto ..." branch to in example code above, line 18? In D, it can be an external identifier: 22 EXTERNAL: // from switch...

Does Gordon have it? Also isn't there a scope hierarchy, line 17?

Because a defined inside scope cannot be accessed from outside scope.

Finally, we use final switch in D, if there is no default.

I wish you accomplish everything...
