        <h1>Fuse Programming language</h1>
        <p>A typed fusion of Lua dialects that can compile into any Lua-like runtime(including multiple Lua versions, luaJIT, and luau).</p>

              <p class="lead">Fuse is a gradually typed dialect of <a href="https://lua.org">Lua</a> written in the <a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/">Rust</a> language, Relation between Fuse and Lua is similar to what <a href="https://www.typescriptlang.org/">Typescript</a> is to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript">JavaScript</a>, <a href="https://www.scala-lang.org/">Scala</a> to <a href="https://www.java.com/">Java</a>, <a href="https://sorbet.org/">Sorbet</a> to <a href="https://www.ruby-lang.org/">Ruby</a> and <a href="https://hacklang.org/">Hack</a> to <a href="https://www.php.net/">PHP</a>; The Fuse compiler is written in the Rust language with a high priority on the compilation speed!</p>

            <h3 class="text-center">Why</h3>
            <p>Lua's being small and easily embadable phlosophy comes with a lot of upsides in making the code portable but It has one big downside, Lua cannot have complex features since it has a single pass compiler! Fuse helps with bringing more modern features, types, and an extended runtime containing better data structures to easily adopt in your programs!</p>

            <h3 class="text-center">How</h3>
            <p>Fuse works as a compilation step, It will get compiled down into the selected target language and will generate highly readable, highly optimized code which lets us add a lot of features without the support in the underlying language!</p>

            <h3 class="text-center">Macros</h3>
            <p>Fuse comes with a procedural macro system, It is operating on the AST level and would let us do meta programming right within our code.</p>
