I checked the link you gave 
https://github.com/beast-lang/beast-dragon and it seems that this 
language is no longer being updated. Because its last commit was 
8 years ago. Also, the developer himself said that he has stopped 
developing the project. But I still think it is a great resource 
to learn. I think it could become a successful language. I was 
wondering if I could email him and he would respond? If so, that 
would be great.
