“The Data-Oriented Language for Sane Software Development.”
Odin hits 1.0 after nine years of one guy grinding on a C replacement in the open. No dependency hell, no borrow-checker ceremony, just manual memory and data-oriented design. It has already shipped real games and tools, which is more than most language projects can say at any version number. The bar for 1.0 should be exactly this. Boring stability, not a hype cycle.
