LinCheck: Linear Resource Semantics Analyzer

Developers designing new languages grapple with conflicting ownership rules—linear use‑once semantics versus practical aliasing and refcounting—causing confusing specifications and subtle bugs. LinCheck automatically validates, visualizes, and reconciles resource ownership models, giving language designers concrete guarantees that their rules are sound and implementable.

Comment on: Show HN: Wyzer Programming Language

The pitch is "one ownership rule for memory, threads, and networks," but I think there are two rules in here and they pull against each other.The resource rule as stated is linear: once you use a resource, you can't use it again. Perceus is not that. Perceus exists precisely because values are shared — it inserts dup/drop and then reuses the allocation in place when the count happens to be 1. If everything in the language were genuinely use-once, you wouldn't need refcounting at all; a linear type system gives you the frees statically. The fact that Perceus is in the design implies aliasing is
