Sunya programming language bootstrapped with custom VM, not Fortran

The creator of the Sunya programming language, with assistance from Copilot, has decided against using Fortran for bootstrapping. Instead, they opted to build Sunya from scratch using a custom virtual machine and a seed language. The initial phase involved creating a deterministic, pointer-free VM, and the next steps will focus on developing a minimal Sunya core language. AI

IMPACT Details the development of a new programming language, potentially influencing future software development tools and methodologies.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes the development process of a new programming language, which falls under research and development. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=0.7]
