Volant is a general-purpose data-oriented high-level programming language with a focus on speed, power, asynchronicity, and concurrency. Volant is designed with simplicity in mind, allowing both low-level and high-level features with simple and easy to use syntax. Volant is transpiled to c with no or a very thin layer of abstraction over the code you write, which makes it as fast as c in almost all cases.
@emd22 You were allowed to work on the basic compiler before the jam. Since we also allowed redoing old languages and/or just adding lots of new features to your old languages, we decided to allow working on the very basic compiler before the jam began.

EDIT: @CSharpIsGud made a complete operating system using Volant. Check it out here.
Any constructive feedback is appreciated and thanks for checking it out.
are you allowed to submit a project that was started before the jam?!
@emd22 uh good question. But uh... they worked hard on this!

@TheDrone7 BAN TIME
bruh there are even submissions that have been under development for literally years
