Cyber: A fast, memory-safe scripting language with JIT and fibers
Cyberscript
Cyber is a new scripting language designed for speed and ease of use. It combines dynamic and static typing, supports concurrency via fibers, and is memory-safe. The language features a fast VM and JIT compiler, and can be embedded in applications or used as a CLI tool. Benchmarks show Cyber outperforming LuaJIT, Python, and Node in recursive Fibonacci tests. It also offers FFI for C-ABI libraries and automatic binding generation.
Cyber wants to provide fast and delightful scripting.

This is by far the most stupid name for a new language imaginable. Shortening it to "cyber" on the landing page too..
When will devs learn that being able to search for a term on the open internet without having it polluted by normal language is kind of important

2022-2023 on the bottom of the main page, last release from 2023 & most recent commit from 8 months ago... seems almost dead to me

Looks like it's safer to stick to Lua and use LuaJIT.

I think (outside hobbies) new programming language development is basically dead at this point. The major use cases have been filled, and there are more forces than ever towards using a battle-tested language with a massive ecosystem. Further, less and less code is being written or read by humans so the actual language ergonomics matter less than ever to those who would fund new language creation.

Interesting concept I guess. But the website reads like poorly AI generated code. No information as to what the grey and orange bars mean, overlapping text and such.
