Google Experimental Language #2 (GEL2) is an experimental general-purpose object-oriented programming language. GEL2 is essentially a subset of C#, extended with an ownership-based type system which allows GEL2 to free memory safely and deterministically without using a garbage collector.

This implementation of GEL2 includes an interpreter and a compiler which generates C++ code. The implementation is mostly intended as an experimental prototype intended to demonstrate the viability of a type system based on ownership. The language is large enough to write useful programs, such as the GEL2 interpreter/compiler itself.

GEL2 originated as a research project I developed while working at Google. I'd like to thank Google for allowing me to release GEL2 as open source.

Hello,

i found this and thought maybe it is usefull for dlang ?!

It is a borrow counter for single ownership, limited to single threaded programs. Interesting, but limited.

It's not limited to single threaded programs, the optimizations that are included are, but you can do without. Nim tried to use

Without optimizations there would be no paper to write…
