Klotho VS Ballerina

Something like this for example: https://klo.dev/. Source: about 1 year ago

When I was putting together the pitchdeck for our startup I wanted to search for pitchdeck slides to learn from - but I was looking for specific sections or types of startups for slide decks. To find that one relevant slide, I had to open tens of decks and scroll through them. So I decided to make a tool that would allow me to search inside the decks more easily: SearchTheDeck.com.

Hi everyone, Ala here. I'm the co-founder of Klotho (https://klo.dev). We built a tool that allows you to write cloud applications without the complexities that exist with today's approaches. Infrastructure-as-Code is the current state of the art, but the level of work needed to implement a cloud system with it is extremely high, to the point where teams and companies staff an entire organization to support the... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

> Why is this a language, not just a framework for JavaScript or whatever? I'm one of the founders of Klotho (https://klo.dev), and we're in the camp of expanding existing programming languages with cloud native building blocks. We’re building Klotho in that spirit. There's a few reasons to opt for using a compiler rather than SDKs: - Being able to catch errors as early in the development process as possible,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Oh boy -- lot's of work ahead for you folks, best of luck! I'll be watching this project. We do a ton with GCP so when this matures we'll be looking at it more. How do you compete with -- if at all -- with Ballerina lang? https://ballerina.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

PS: This advice stems from my personal experience while building BallerinaLang. We spent the first two to three years working with our own bytecode interpreter before we transitioned to JVM bytecode. Our LLVM backend is still under development and has a long way to go. Source: 12 months ago

Considering your rich background in C++ and Haskell, along with your interest in functional programming paradigms, I wouldn't necessarily predict that Ballerina will "blow your mind." However, you might find certain familiar syntax while encountering numerous "why?" questions. Source: 12 months ago

Ballerina actually showed some innovative ways to do it and is an interesting language to keep an eye on... finally, Unison decided to focus on its cloud offering and seamless distributed functional programming. Also a really cool language. Source: 12 months ago

Last week I found Ballerina (https://ballerina.io/) via a comment here on HN, which got me thinking that I've gotten a bit out of touch with newer/up and coming languages in development. My guess is that, if I missed Ballerina before a week ago, I've probably missed quite a bit more. What have I missed? And it would be cool to see where people are finding these types of things too. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
