Cute but how the hell is someone expected to survive in SF for $3000 a month?!? This sounds like a way to get interns cheaper than standard intern wages in SF ($48k). Are you breaking california labor laws?
It does not sound like they are offering a job. This actually sounds like a really great deal for the right person in the right spot.
Can we get some more info on what exactly "Dark Lang" is? A Google search yields absolutely nothing. Definitely sounds interesting though. I have a lot of ideas, and would jump at the chance to cut my salary in half in exchange for total freedom to pursue them.
We’re creating a new programming language, tightly integrated with an editor, compiler and PaaS, to allow engineers to build distributed applications using high-level primitives. We abstract away individual machines and low-level distributed systems code to:
* Generate and run scalable infrastructure for you. * Use APIs as easily as if they were functions. * Remove the deployment step entirely.
Quite ambitious I must say
Why do they require living in SF? They plan to make money on support in the future (I believe), so why this model won't work for other spots on this planet?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's right - we're not offering a job. Most likely you'll have an incorporated startup and we'll be paying the startup.

I looked around the website and couldn't find any mention of what Dark even is. I keep hearing that "Dark is a new tool to help you build a complete scalable app in an afternoon", but how does it actually do this? Why would I want to base my startup on this platform?
I like the premise, but at $3000/month it'd be hard to live in SF (which is a requirement). More importantly though, it appears the goal is to lock-in startups, then as they scale you make more money. For Dark, this makes total sense and is a good business model, for a new startup - it seems like an unnecessary risk.
