todo - if you want to know what xlang aims to offer in the somewhat distant future

syntax, semantics and naming conventions should be consistent and obvious.
there should only be one obvious way to do things.
unsafety only occurs on the compiler side. The virtual machine should assume that any input program is valid, for the sake of performance.
no "real" multithreading, only lightweight virtual "fibers". Only native functions are spawned in a different thread, to prevent halting the program.
minimal implicit type conversions
no weird or dumb syntax. Only syntax that makes sense and is easy to read.
minimal breaking changes. Breaking changes past the pre-release state must be necessary.
