    Hi! Some friends of mine, ex-YC founders were drowning in a flood of emails from investors and clients. To save themselves, they built an internal tool that worked so well, they de…

    Congratulations, Arnaud! I really like the idea of your tool. I was using many tools to track dev productivity in the past – with all kind of charts and plots. Somehow, I never got…

    That's right, we will be able to cut it down in the future. Let me explain why: 1. Enso compiler bases on GraalVM which is 400Mb (packed)[1]. 2. The package contains GraalVM implem…

    Btw, I think it's a good time to also announce that we have just started an "Enso Partnership Program" – long story short, if you have an idea of what you want to build on top of E…

    I believe that functional programming with immutable memory is the only model you can use in order to create a visual language that you can reason about. E.g. you do not want to al…

    Luna was our early prototype and it indeed had significant performance problems. Our new JIT compiler is able to execute the graphs really fast (in fact, in many cases we are up to…

    > Certainly. I was struck by it a few years back, around the same time as Luna was in early alpha stage. In fact I found it while doing research for my thesis, based on this vision…

    Thank you! We hope for it as well. We really hope that Enso would eventually become applicable to a much broader space than Alteryx is applicable nowadays. In fact, Enso already pr…

    It did come naturally, kind of! This is the one thing we heavily underestimated when starting Enso – the amount of time that is required to make the language's design consistent in…

    No, it's not. TBH, we were not aware about it until recently, when someone from our community mentioned this project. It looks not maintained anymore nowadays, but I think it's a g…

    Thank you! And of course, everything (but the Cloud management) is Open Source on our end! You can find our custom WebGL rendering engine here ( https://github.com/enso-org/ide/tre…

    Hi, thank you for the nice words! We believe in the same vision. Visual languages are amazing for some applications, however, text-based development is superior in many cases, like…

    I would love to chat about the cases you have in your mind! We really want Enso to redefine the data analysis environment and thus, we also want it to be accessible to the wide aud…

    Thank you :) You are absolutely right! Luna was our prototype with several issues – slow GUI, low compiler performance, and lack of extensibility. That's why we went into heads-dow…

    Hi! Good to see a fellow Krakow citizen! :) Enso is cloud ready! It has two parts – web-based UI + server-side compiler / data crunching engine. The version you are able to downloa…

    Yes, you can! Enso is a purely functional language with currying, immutable memory, algebraic data types, data-flow errors, type inferencer, JIT compiler, and even a special kind o…

    Thank you! That's a good question and yes, there is a small story to it. There were several problems with the old name. A lot of people were confusing "Luna" with "Lua", the name i…
