Thanks Barrett, I appreciate. So there are 2 major things I am looking
forward to do with the language:

- Port existing Javascript apps to BB++ so we can convert them to C++ then
WebAssembly; this way web apps will run 4x faster.

- Improve the parser to support templates so that entire existing C++
projects can be converted to BB++; this will fix all memory leaks.

I also need to run more benchmarks.

Memory leaks are a thing of the past now!
