RE: XyScript --my conversation with Claude

Harry,

Thanks for sharing the low-down on Rust. I started learning Rust for my personal programming but
found the borrow-checker to be a bit oppressive. I've embraced Zig as a modern systems language that
is more C-like. I would have chosen it for XyScript, but it's still in active development, with v1.0
still a ways off. I think Rust will prove to be a solid choice.

It will be an updated version of XPL, as in QuickNotes, but even more powerful. I will probably also
add Lua or something similar as an alternative scripting option, and perhaps other programming
capabilities as well. All in good time.
