Yes. We* are doing this full time during regular work hours. But this is not, yet, a product that deserves to be tied to the Google brand. It is just some code and some design documents, and hopes and dreams :) It could fail. And even if it

I'm glad you're enthusiastic! But just to set realistic expectations: "this is less about proposing an API, and more about starting a conversation" ( https://github.com/chromium/ballista ). There is n

(I am the creator of Mars). Yeah, it basically means a few things: 1. This is a research project. It doesn't have any support and if there are future versions, they might change the language in backwards-incompatible ways (but I will g

(I am the designer of Mars.) You make an interesting point. I haven't decided if I agree with you, but here are my thoughts. If I understand you, you're saying that x.v should have type Num, but x.u should have type Maybe(Num) (be

(Author of the article here). I think you underestimate the power of a good (long) password. Check this out: https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm That site lets you enter a password and see how long it would take to crack using a brute-force
