 - **Simple**: Val borrows heavily from [Swift](https://swift.org) which has demonstrated a user-friendly approach to generic programming and deep support for value semantics.  Val's programming model strengthens and extends this support, while de-emphasizing reference semantics and avoiding the complexities that result from trying to make it statically safe (e.g., memory regions, lifetime annotations, etc.).
 - **Interoperable with C++**: Programming languages rarely survive in vacuum. Val aims to take advantage of the vast software capital of C++ by supporting full interoperability.

 Val is under active development and is not ready to be used yet.

 This program declares two character strings, appends an exclamation mark to the longest, and prints them both after the mutation.
 No pointers or references are used (`&` in Val does not mean “address of”—it simply marks a mutation), and no unecessary allocation occurs.
-The result of `longer_of` is a *projection* of the longer argument, so the mutation of `z` by `emphasize` occurs directly on the value of `y`.  The value is neither copied, nor moved, and yet it is not being passed by reference to `emphasize`.  
-The body of `emphasize` *owns* `z` in exactly the same way as it owns `strength`, which is passed by value: `z` is an independent value that can only be touched by `emphasize`.

 To better understand, notice that `longer_of` is not a function; its a subscript.
 A subscript does not return a value, it *projects* one, granting the caller temporary read and/or write access to it.
