 ## FAQ
 
+### Why yet another programming language?
+
+Granted, there are _a lot_ of programming languages, but oddly enough I found myself
+in the situation where I was still not completely satisfied. For example, Rust is a fantastic programming language,
+but writing web applications in it feels a little counter-intuitive due to its manual memory management.
+On the other hand, functional  programming languages like Haskell and Idris look like they come straight out of the future, but sometimes have unpredictable run-time performance and force you to do weird things when all you want to do is mutate a variable. Bolt aims to solve these two issues, and to be a gate into more complex compilers. Who knows what the successor will look like?

+More expressiveness, less boilerplate, and most of all more safety. Bolt is my first attempt at finding it.
