Bramble is a compiled, statically typed language whose core goal is to develop language abstractions which allow a developer to explicitly define how they logically want their code to work while acknowledging the consequences of code be executed by a CPU which exists in the real world.

This goal was inspired while learning the Rust programming language and realizing that lifetime’s in Rust are semantic representations of the stack frames created by the CPU while executing a program. Rust made explicit something which was implicit in languages like C and complete hidden in GC languages like Java and C#. Through lifetimes, Rust guides the developer into explicitly thinking about the physical way a program is executed. Bramble’s core philosophy is to take this approach as far as possible.
