So I applaud the push towards simpler systems, if done right.

Having said that, to me the most interesting part of the Austral language is 
its [Capability-Based 
Security](https://austral-lang.org/spec/spec.html#rationale-cap).

Looking into the future, I belive with the advent of generative AI more people 
will begin coding using all sorts of AI tools (and as a consequence we will 
have more apps, but also more packages, etc) and given inherent software 
complexity, lots of security issues will also be introduced.

We could all benefit from having languages which help us write more secure 
software, by providing some sort of isolation to prevent supply-chain attacks 
and the likes.

Nim is already pretty easy to program in; if on top of it we could have some 
security-based capability system, that in my book is a winner.
