Interesting new educational lang, compiling to wasm in browser https://easyprog.online/ide/easyprog.html

Haven't looked much at the lang, but the the dev/deploy/run environment seems interesting

and another interesting new language: https://keli-language.gitbook.io/doc/ statically typed FP language that wants to be IDE friendly

> #### Features > > - Multiple dispatch > - Pure functional programming > - Minimal syntax > - Strong type safety > - Easy IDE integration

very nice syntax inspired by Smalltalk

objective-C has such syntax

nice, never written any objective-C

Aye, smalltalk... might be interesting

I was noticing in the motivation examples though: 'Hello world' replaceFromIndex: 0 toIndex: 4 with: 'Bye'

We can pretty much do that with clojure

(my-replace :in "Hello world" :from 0 :to 4 :with "Bye")

Seems like some of our doc tools can help convey those options too... Though I usually don't get bit too hard by positional arguments to care enough.

it’s also about discoverability: IDE should be able to tell you what you can do

I thought cursive showed you a lot of that stuff inline? (at least, what I can see in the keli gif in the docs)

I don't know... I tend to not need those bells and whistles though... they're nice to have. But when I was using Cursive, I rarely used them, so I never missed them.

getting args list and docstring is something I appreciate about Cursive / CIDER

i wonder why Keli isn’t an alternate frontend a la keli:haskell :: reason:ocaml

is there an actual implementation?

making a frontend sounds reasonable

there’s a compiler repo, looks like

also, notice that keli is strongly typed

https://github.com/KeliLanguage/compiler

there's no mention of clojure in the docs

right--i meant an alternate frontend to haskell 🙂

since its design goals seemed to be entirely syntax-level

yes, it's mostly about syntax

with what looks like it’d be a compatible AST with haskell

(from my skimming, admittedly)
