Show HN: Imba – I have spent 7 years creating a programming language for the web

Imba Scrimba 4 day week tl;drLegal
  1. 1
    Take a whole lot of Ruby, a pinch of Python and some React, get Imba
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    As mentioned, Imba compiles to JavaScript, and it works on both the frontend and backend. The quickest way to get a feeling of how it works is by checking out this video: https://imba.io/ Alternatively, here is a list of the main benefits of the language: * Clean syntax with built-in tags and inline styles * Imba's Memoized DOM approach is *an order of magnitude* faster than Virtual DOMs (Vue, React). Learn more here: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/the-virtual-dom-is-slow-meet-the-memoized-dom-bb19f546cc52/ * Imba works with Node and the npm ecosystem, and integrates tightly with both JS and TypeScript * Blazing-fast dev/build tools based on esbuild Each of the benefits above are explained more thoroughly in our docs here, so please check it out if any of the above points spark your interest: https://imba.io With this version I feel that I am very close to my vision for what Imba should be. In other words; it is finally ready for public consumption. I'd wholeheartedly advice you to look into it and give it a whirl if you are interested in web development :) Hope you like it, and please share any feedback you might have in the comments!

  2. Interactive coding screencasts created in an instant
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    As far as I understand it, the language came first and in order to teach it to others the founder created a screencasting tool of sorts, which became a company in its own right: https://scrimba.com Ironically, it seems the company focused on content to teach primarily other technologies while using Imba to build it all. It's a rather fascinating story actually, which I'm paraphrasing and probably mostly got wrong, but if you're interested you can read more on their hiring page: https://scrimba.recruitee.com N.B.: I'm not in any way affiliated with Imba or Scrimba. The first time I heard of the technology and the company was today, through HN, so I have no skin in this game. I'm probably also mostly wrong about everything above, so you know..

  3. Software development jobs with a better work / life balance
    Very cool, good luck! I'm sure you'll do great p.s. If you would be open to listing your positions on a 4 day work week (even at 80% salary) I'd be more than happy to promote them on https://4dayweek.io + the newsletter for free.
