Why Moss?

In this AI era, countless GPU computing DSL (domain specific lanuage) has came into been. However, most of them use python or C++ as frontend, which is hard to tailerd for DSL usage.

Moss lang aims to provide a mordern language frontend which is easy to JIT (generate code during execution) or AOT (generate code before execution) any DSL code with corresponding integration.
