Nyx Language: Requesting Technical Review of a Region-Based Memory Compiler

Hello everyone. I am sharing Nyx, a systems-programming language and native compiler built around automatic region inference, zero garbage collection, and region-based memory allocation. The goal is to explore whether a language can offer modern high-level syntax while retaining deterministic, bare-metal performance. Nyx uses reference-counted promotion for values that escape their original regions, alongside a formal Lambda-Nyx calculus and a proposed zero-use-after-free invariant. We have tested the compiler with internal test suites and benchmarks. We are also exploring Nyx through desktop games, an operating-system project, and a mobile runtime. I would appreciate technical feedback on the memory model, safety claims, compiler implementation, benchmarks, scalability, and real-world performance. Please inspect the available research materials and source code, test the compiler or games where possible, and share bugs, concerns, or suggestions. This began as a research question, so critical feedback is welcome.
