Architecture

• No VM/runtime — pure transpiler: fut -o hello.c,cpp,cs,d,java,js,py,swift,ts,cl hello.fu
• Generated code is human-readable and follows each target’s naming conventions
• No dependencies required in the generated output

Community Sentiment

• Compared to Haxe (similar approach, broader ecosystem)
• Skepticism: universal language can’t optimize for each target optimally
• Request: Rust target missing
• Playground available at fusion-lang.org

Relevance to Hermes Ecosystem

• Cross-language library distribution pattern could inform multi-Agent tool schema design
• Not immediately actionable (P2 priority)
