Hi! Some friends of mine, ex-YC founders were drowning in a flood of emails from investors and clients. To save themselves, they built an internal tool that worked so well, they decided to package it into an app (I was helping them a little

Congratulations, Arnaud! I really like the idea of your tool. I was using many tools to track dev productivity in the past – with all kind of charts and plots. Somehow, I never got answer to the question "what do we really spend time o

That's right, we will be able to cut it down in the future. Let me explain why: 1. Enso compiler bases on GraalVM which is 400Mb (packed)[1]. 2. The package contains GraalVM implementations of Python[2], R[3], and JavaScript[4] compile

Btw, I think it's a good time to also announce that we have just started an "Enso Partnership Program" – long story short, if you have an idea of what you want to build on top of Enso, we'd like to help you deliver it! &

I believe that functional programming with immutable memory is the only model you can use in order to create a visual language that you can reason about. E.g. you do not want to allow some nodes (visual components) to affect the execution o

Luna was our early prototype and it indeed had significant performance problems. Our new JIT compiler is able to execute the graphs really fast (in fact, in many cases we are up to 80x faster than Python nowadays: https://github.

> Certainly. I was struck by it a few years back, around the same time as Luna was in early alpha stage. In fact I found it while doing research for my thesis, based on this vision. I was naive enough to think I had an original idea when

Thank you! We hope for it as well. We really hope that Enso would eventually become applicable to a much broader space than Alteryx is applicable nowadays. In fact, Enso already provides much more powerful toolset in many cases, like unstru

It did come naturally, kind of! This is the one thing we heavily underestimated when starting Enso – the amount of time that is required to make the language's design consistent in both representations. In fact, our desire to create a

No, it's not. TBH, we were not aware about it until recently, when someone from our community mentioned this project. It looks not maintained anymore nowadays, but I think it's a good idea to reach out to its authors, tell "h

Hi, thank you for the nice words! We believe in the same vision. Visual languages are amazing for some applications, however, text-based development is superior in many cases, like low-level algorithm development, API connections, compatibi

I would love to chat about the cases you have in your mind! We really want Enso to redefine the data analysis environment and thus, we also want it to be accessible to the wide audience of customers. That's why we have the free Open So

Thank you :) You are absolutely right! Luna was our prototype with several issues – slow GUI, low compiler performance, and lack of extensibility. That's why we went into heads-down mode for almost 2 years to make a production version

Hi! Good to see a fellow Krakow citizen! :) Enso is cloud ready! It has two parts – web-based UI + server-side compiler / data crunching engine. The version you are able to download from our website just contains both parts glued in a

Yes, you can! Enso is a purely functional language with currying, immutable memory, algebraic data types, data-flow errors, type inferencer, JIT compiler, and even a special kind of a monadic type system with auto-lifting (although we do no

Yeah, that's a tricky one! We were thinking how to do it correctly and I think we will add a "collapse" function to the code editor on mobile, so you'll be able to collapse / expand it on demand. Would it work for y
