A good effort, but i failed to see any use case why someone will select Lumina over TypeScript. Infact Lumina itself is written in TypeScript.
Lumina is a statically typed, web-native language that compiles to JavaScript and WebAssembly. It has HM type inference, algebraic types, traits, a reactive UI runtime, a REPL, an LSP, and a browser demo written in Lumina itself. The current demo runs without React and uses a Vite plugin that compiles .lm files directly for the browser.

I’d love feedback on the language design, the web-native direction, and the developer experience.
on the examples page, the example for string interpolation is a simple function example
Seems like a front-end bug. Click on the tab brings up the right example.
It would be helpful to show some clarification on what the benefits are compared to TypeScript
