About:
Never is a statically typed, embedded functional programming language designed for integration into host applications. It provides a robust functional core with features like type inference and garbage collection, enabling developers to script complex logic within larger systems. This makes it ideal for adding extensibility and safe functional paradigms to existing software projects.

Key Features:

Statically typed with type inference
Embedded scripting capabilities
Functional programming paradigm
Garbage collected memory management

Use Cases:

Embedding a functional language into C/C++ applications
Scripting complex business logic in a safe manner
Learning and experimenting with functional programming concepts

Alternatives:

Lua – Lua is a more widely used, imperative scripting language, whereas Never focuses on functional paradigms and static typing.
Wren – Wren is a class-based concurrent scripting language, while Never emphasizes purely functional approaches.
