  • A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev
    Darklang.com - Hosted language combined with editor and infrastructure. Accessible during the beta, a generous free tier is planned after beta. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
  • It's so unfortunate they decided to go with the Clojure/Haskell type syntax, as opposed to something friendlier like Elixir. A lot of people will not even try this language as a result. [Unison]
    Why should I use this instead of https://darklang.com/. Source: 10 months ago
  • Cloud, Why So Difficult?
    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
  • New open-source programming language for DevOps engineers by the creator of the CDK
    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
  • Making Something Waspy: A Review Of Wasp
    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
  • Using Rust at a Startup: A Cautionary Tale
    Some languages that try to integrate an HTTP server and a database: Ur/Web: http://impredicative.com/ur/ Dark (Darklang): https://darklang.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • The Current State of Infrastructure From Code
    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
  • free-for.dev
    Darklang.com - Hosted language combined with editor and infrastructure. Free during the beta, generous free tier planned after beta. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • “Zoom Out”: The missing feature of IDEs
    The author should check out Dark Lang: https://darklang.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Heroku Ending Free Tier
    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
  • Clojure Single Codebase?
    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
  • Vite – Next Generation Front End Tooling
    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
  • The End of CI
    Https://darklang.com/ is probably the closest attempt at https://medium.com/@kentbeck_7670/limbo-scaling-software-collaboration-afd4f00db4b. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Creator of SerenityOS announces new Jakt programming language effort
    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
  • What modern and mature language does both general purpose and data persistence ?
    Some languages you might find interesting: Unison, darklang. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • How Vercel is changing the cloud game
    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
  • Ask HN: What happened to DarkLang?
    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
  • Do not use AWS CloudFormation
    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
  • How We Made Bracket Pair Colorization 10,000x Faster
    > 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). I... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • How We Made Bracket Pair Colorization 10,000x Faster
    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
  • What if Git worked with Programming Languages?
    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.
