Yeah, i think lisette just needs some time (its pre 1.0, so probably not used in prod), but that said i read Listte is actually already used for building compilers for other languages.
Some people like to live on the bleeding edge, and once again, that said, the Go runtime is just so good so you have a solid base, and can always eject from lisette by just keeping the generated Go source. That makes it a more safe language to choose.
It seems to me like both Gala and Lisette are fairly safe to invest in for small projects that you'd otherwise write Go in assuming you have the token budget and patience to be able to as ask an agent to make the generated Go more idiomatic afterwards / do a native Go rewrite if needed.
I'm still not sure if I would rather test out Gala or Lisette or both, I appreciate hearing you've had a positive experience with Lisette!
Not sure about gala, but lisette produces good and readable go-code. There is a prelude (option, reault etc) package you possible would want to get rid of if you ejected. But an LLM could easily do this manual task for you pretty easily.
