I tried out Hare shortly after it was publicly announced and found it pretty cool then, but haven't gone back to it again until recently. It's got a really minimalist ethos, which I really like.
I did have to patch the port on FreeBSD to get it to work there, but it was a single line added to config.mk. Hopefully the maintainer will act on it quickly. Dr Brian Callahan has it working on OpenBSD as well. It only supports open source operating systems, which I find I like.
Currently working on an archiver implementation that I had floating in my head for a while, which I'm also implementing in Zig and Rust concurrently to see which I like the best. Even though I'm most used to Rust, I'm finding that the Hare implementation is pretty easy to knock together. Might not be as fast, due to the lack of threading in Hare's `std` library, but the code should be a lot smaller and more readable.
