Austral Language Specification: Strategic Briefing

Austral is a systems programming language engineered to prioritize security, readability, and long-term maintainability. Its primary innovation is the integration of a linear type system, which enables manual memory management and resource lifecycle enforcement without the overhead of a garbage collector or the complexity of traditional static analysis heuristics. The language is governed by the principle of "fits-in-head simplicity," defined by low Kolmogorov complexity. It deliberately rejects
