We encourage you to play with this release and start solving some Euler Project questions, write some microservices, or just toy around 😊

Please report your experience with Lamdu, your feedback is very valuable to us.

The language that (almost) all programmers use

Can you guess what it is?

[Prathyush @prathyvsh]

Tree editors are a common alternative when you explore the Lisp/functional programming landscape. Some examples are:

1/ Cirru: https://t.co/DQzHWGIz1S
2/ Lamdu: https://t.co/CHRwNMWSh7
3/ Luna (DAGs): https://t.co/2rJKsAdpBl
4/ Pure Data (DAGs): https://t.co/ID1Z9o8Jp3

True!

Lamdu tries to combine the best of both:

Writer can choose to specify type or allow it to be inferred.

Reader can choose to see verbose types, or concise code.

See this video about "Steady Typing"

For example, even simple features like "type inference" feel like misplaced priorities to me.

People say "it's annoying I have to write String foo = new String()," but realistically, you're more often writing "String foo = bar.getBaz()"

If that becomes "val foo = bar.getBaz()"

@Iceland_jack Makes sense.

That's why ; is the native name for monadic bind in Lamdu.

Once structured editing is unlocked, the list of useful features and benefits is endless

Unpopular opinion: text is actually a really bad medium for storing source code

Text source code should be a view of the truth, not the source of truth. I should be able to freely switch between whatever views I want.

[Lamdu project @LamduProject]

No longer will you have to write a library from scratch just so non English programmers can use it.

Everyone will be able to collaborate on a shared program.

[Lamdu project @LamduProject]

Natural language support (i18n) for program editing is coming!

The program will be editable in any of the available languages.

Program entities are attached to reusable tags that have translations in each language.

Lamdu has a new video, too!

@tomaspetricek The Lamdu project focuses on interactive and immediate feedback as you structurally edit your program.

[Lamdu project @LamduProject]

We believe so too. https://t.co/Xza2gzv0Ai

Higher up the stack: the programmer head => code-in-editor gap

Programming languages are UIs for compilers. It strikes me that humanity may be capable of compiler UX better than "edit a bunch of text files, and get your punctuation right, damn it". That remains to be seen though
