I guess if you wanted to do something similar but open, you can edit code directly on your server, use erlang/elixir's hot reloading, and call it 50ms deploys.
congratz! maybe for the generation which grows up with scratch, new concepts and ideas are needed. not sure if darklang will make it, but exploration in the space will surely help. writing this from while using emacs as a window manager(exwm), made me realize how impossible it is for me to evaluate change. best of luck.
Sure, keep the IDEs and deployless infrastructure and all proprietary, but a core programming language in 2019 can only be open-source. Heck, even Microsoft gets it now.
It's hard for me to see the benefits being worth the difficulties.
Edit: after seeing the building block like nature of the editor it makes more sense to me. It's ambitious and a really cool concept. Would be great to see wider applications of that editor/language.
Ugh, why embed tiny videos that can't go full screen.
What does error handling look like? Do individual cards basically become individual classes with functions and handlers? I would love to see more examples of apps build with dark.
Does anyone know if there are tools in reverse of dark - build API and based on that create front end?
Is there an open source version of the language? ...bc I'm not touching a programming language with a ten foot pole if it hasn't got at least two implementations, and at least one open source :| Sure, keep the IDEs and deployless infrastructure and all proprietary, but a core programming language in 2019 can only be open-source.

EDIT: I got it, I got it. Go has multiple implementations. Bad example.
Node+express is already simple enough...
> Dark is a holistic programming language No thank you. There's zero chance I'm going to learn and build anything in a language owned by a startup.
Honestly, that's totally cool. There's a certain risk profile that's right for where Dark is now (new startups, low risk projects, under-resourced projects/teams). Folks with a different risk profile should not be using Dark at the moment.

So, no Rust or Go for you? EDIT: I got it, I got it. Go has multiple implementations. Bad example.
