What type of `print` formatting do you prefer?

Like I said. While rare, there will be cases while this will be 
useful so I will support it. BUT it will not be necessary to use 
and it should not be used for most cases. You and I will use the 
simple "{}" syntax ;)

Exactly! That's my point and like I said, it will be easier to 
implement manual format with the brackets. I'm still working on 
the design of manual formatting tho.

Yep, supporting methods for Structs was planned anyway! In case 
the type is not the basic type then the compiler will check if 
the type has a method (I will think about the name) and if it has 
it, it will call this method, if not, it will inform the user and 
abort compilation

Yes, there will not be a garbage collector now or never!! Libd 
(lib's name) will be a low-level (using inline assembly) system 
library using the `-betterC` and `--Xcc=-nostdlib` flags to 
compile. This will allow us for great runtime performance and 
fast compilation times and of course no dependencies!
