Building a new systems programming language from scratch is one of the most intellectually demanding endeavors in modern computer science. Nyx was born from a fundamental question: Can we create a sovereign, high-performance computing foundation that gives developers complete independence from foreign runtimes? An Honest Perspective: A Dedicated Team & An Evolving Horizon It is important to be completely transparent: Nyx is created by a focused, dedicated project team led by Simeon Bala at 9jaonCloud. Unlike legacy languages that have had decades of multi-billion dollar corporate backing from Silicon Valley giants, Nyx is an ambitious homegrown innovation in its growth phase. We recognize that building an enterprise-grade compiler, robust standard library, and multi-platform native runtime takes continuous refinement, rigorous community testing, and dedicated time. We are committed to steady, transparent progress - from formal PLDI research publications to production cloud deployments. Growing Together With Your Support Nyx will reach its full global potential through developer adoption, community issue reports, academic research partnerships, and open ecosystem feedback. We invite developers, engineers, and researchers to join us on this journey as we refine and expand the language. Why Sovereignty Matters National and regional digital sovereignty is no longer optional. When enterprises and governments rely entirely on proprietary or foreign computing platforms, they face rising licensing costs, compliance liabilities (such as the Nigeria Data Protection Act - NDPA), and critical vendor lock-in. By owning our compiler architecture, memory model, and systems infrastructure, we lay the groundwork for African technology leadership on the global stage. Our Engineering Roadmap v0.22 (Current): Region Escape Inference, LLVM 18 Native Codegen, and Skia GUI Primitives. v0.24 (Upcoming): Enhanced Vulkan GPU Compute Pipeline and Distributed Actor Message Passing. v0.26 (Future): Prototype Bare-Metal Sovereign Kernel and POSIX-Compliant Subsystem.
