Just to be pedantic: the command is jai.exe, and the source file extension is .jai, so everyone calls the language Jai. Except Jonathan Blow, who only ever refers to it as "the language" in his videos. I vaguely recall him saying in an interview that he doesn't want to commit to a name just yet.

Ah! thats pretty cool. I wasn't aware of that.

Jai has not been released to the public. If people are looking for a language that has been very heavily influenced by it and is in a near category, then that would arguably be Odin (https://youtu.be/M763xHjsPk4). Odin is open to the public, where nobody knows for sure when Jai will.

If looking for a more general purpose feature rich newer language then people might want to also check out Vlang (https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md).

The community library wiki will probably be more useful to people who don't want to watch a bunch of videos: https://github.com/Jai-Community/Jai-Community-Library/wiki
