"Freemium language" is not an option. The language is, and will be free and open source. I cannot even imagine any other option, particularly after open sourcing the codebase. Prem…

Hey, thank you! :) You can run computations on streaming data sources, and building computations on some local files and then running it as a part of a bigger, network connected pi…

Thank you for the feedback! To answer your concerns: 1. Studio is actually a set of plugins for Atom, not a fork. It's just that we are shipping an Atom binary and make sure that i…

Hey! There isn't any out-of-the-box support for distributing Luna programs over the network or any library for that yet. We'll get there eventually, but this is too early a release…

We don't have a webserver library yet, but a simple one is coming soon (probably this or next week). As for package management – well, we figured it's to good have some packages to…

Hey! For now the best way to interact with Postgres is, I think, using an HTTP wrapper server. A better way to do this needs to be created. Maybe as a community effort? ;)

Hi, I'm one of Luna founders, I'll be happy to answer any questions! :)

Some things look best in text and it's fine. However, "programming" is a very broad category, and definitely does not boil down only to algorithms and data structures. I'd even say…

Why don't we have both? And then some more. It is an awesome REPL with a bit of Excel feel. Runs the code whenever you change it and displays the results in real-time. It is also g…

Interesting idea! Are you thinking about any specific applications you'd like to deploy there? I'd love to learn more

Other than name – none at all :)

For starters we've made sure to make git diffs as readable as possible. The visual data is kept at the end of text file (hidden when using our editor), usually in a single line. So…

The standard library is 3-ish kLOCs (written entirely in Luna) and growing, the biggest use cases we've created so far were around 500 LOCs. Performance-wise, we are letting the GH…

I wouldn’t say it’s bogus, and there definitely wasn’t any malicious intention behind it, it’s just that finding a name for such a property is super difficult. As I’ve written abov…

This feature is a bit of a misnomer, as it immediately brings up discussions about category theory. That being said, the idea behind it is pretty simple, yet powerful. Our typechec…

We needed to design everything from scratch to make sure the two representations are truly interchangeable. Every design decision in the textual language needs to be backed by its …

It's not. That is just a name clash, but in our early days TJ was so kind as to pass the ownership of luna organization on GitHub to us :).

We store them in a separate section in the source file, which is hidden by default when editing. So a bare .luna file is a readable text file, containing some metadata at the botto…
