Why should I use this instead of https://darklang.com/. Source: 10 months ago
First it was probably Dark. They made a lot of noise some years ago, but then I never heard of them again (looking at their current website, looks like they moved on to AI now, obviously). Source: 10 months ago
Reminds me of Darklang. Personally, I don't think vendoring cloud services into a language is going to be beneficial. I'm curious how the language deals with vendor updates. Do I have to upgrade the language then? If so, I see a lot conflicts coming from this. Then it comes down to Javascript or HCL, the HCL bit makes me think that the below statement is not as truthy as it is on the surface:. Source: 12 months ago
I wish I could remember what took me to YCombinator's website on the 10th of October, 2022. That was when I first heard about Wasp and another language called DarkLang. After I learned about Wasp, I was intrigued and curious to know how it works, which led me to join the discord server the next day. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

There are others in this space I did not assess like Encore, Shuttle, Modal, and Dark. These were not assessed for the sake of time. If you're interested in IfC, I encourage you to take a look at these others. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

I think Darklang is still free, if you're into learning a new functional programming language and way of testing and deploying stuff. Source: over 1 year ago
Some of the other projects I've seen doing some things completely different are also darklang(not dart) and the Unison Language. Source: over 1 year ago
I see the same issue with libraries and frameworks in any language. For example, I came across Dark Lang [1] yesterday, and the front page is similarly cryptic if you aren't familiar with back end work. [1]: https://darklang.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Honestly, I wish I knew what can be improved on top of Rust/Zig and co. They already have so many great ideas I wouldn't even know where to start... haven't we come close yet to exploring possibilities? And I've seen some really off the beaten track stuff, like Dark and Red that perhaps is the kind of thing you're thinking of? Source: almost 2 years ago

I am ranting here, but that is precisely Darklang's mission. I wouldn't go as far as Darklang with Vercel, and I am especially skeptical about the idea of creating its own kind-of-visual programming language. Still, I like the idea of instant deployments as you code, transparently. I mean, with an optimized DPS workflow like Vercel's, why do we need to build on localhost anyway? I guess we are not just prepared... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
They (https://darklang.com/) generated some hype a while back but never seen them get much attention since then. Anybody used it -- what was your experience like? Are the project and company still under development? - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
I think this is the motivation for https://darklang.com/, trying to solve a lot of the complexity of infra. That said it’s a huge undertaking. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
> Constructing or incrementally updating an AST is not cheap. In particular, most ASTs are very fragile and there are characters when inserted at the wrong position invalidate the entire AST (e.g. Prepending a C-like document with `/*`). Even prepending documents with `{` could render all nodes of the AST invalid, as they might get a different meaning (a class declaration might now be parsed as block statement).

My claim - which I am testing with https://darklang.com - is that code being stored as text is a source of significant friction. There are certainly trade-offs, but the value of the non-text representation is under-considered, as is the cost of the text representation. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
Fwiw, this is what we do in Dark [1]. We store (serialized) ASTs, then then we pretty print them in the editor. This converts the AST into tokens that you see on your screen, complete with configurable* indentation, line-length, etc. Code would be displayed according to your config* and the same code displayed differently to a different developer looking at the same code.
