Working on a programming language for webapps!

Speed is not an optional feature on the web. The site above is written in Firefly, uses hydration, and scores 100% on PageSpeed Insights.
The language is largely complete, and we're now working on DX: Got a language server, a devserver, and some essential libraries.
- thomasikzelf 10mo agoThis looks good! It feels a little bit similiar to ReScript. I like the idea to have nodeMain, browserMain and buildMain. The Roc language had something similiar with platforms and I love that idea! In general I prefer a better language over an involved javascript framework that does not look like js anymore.
- continuational 10mo agoThank you! Yeah, I think some of the newer frameworks really complicate dataflow. We're trying to keep dataflow clear, though it's a big design space given the distributed nature of webapps. In any case, if you take it for a spin, I'd love some feedback.
