I'm one of the developers working on Grafana Alloy. Happy to answer any questions people may have!

One of the Loki maintainers here (though I mostly work on other stuff now). I promise it's not difficult on purpose. We've put a lot of effort into optimizing the Kubernetes experi…

Congrats to the team at Grafana! I've been working here for a little over a year and I'm really excited to see how far we can go with this.

Great job Cortex team!

I've seen both, but I haven't spent a lot of time looking at their documentation to start making comparisons. At the moment, I only have a vague idea of what I want Orange to be. T…

When a standard library is introduced, Orange will be garbage-collected.

Each parameter in a function without a type identifier is a unique generic type. This means any function with two typeless parameters already accepts two different kinds of generic…

I was more inspired by Ruby's syntax, which I always thought was very clean to read. I struggled coming up with a lot of examples since I don't have a standard library to work with…

That's a good point; I updated the README to note that the language is still under development. And yeah, as for https://github.com/orange-lang/orange/tree/master/lib/libor , it on…
