Motivation

• Nix-for-be
• A scripting language lua-like, simple, fast, static-typed.
• A generate tool that generate backend-service code (transpile, meta programming?).
• Declarative backend language (or framework???)
• I love the simplicity of lua, but I want static-type.
• I want write a server with minimal effort. Everything is built-in, hyper extendable.
