#4This idea is amazing, and amazingly ambitious.
I wonder if the morloc language (as distinct from the tool) really has to be a new language, or if it could be represented in Haskell or a more flexible variant like Agda or Idris.

They look pretty simple: unless I’m missing something, it’s just ‘stack install’, plus a couple more commands for each language you want to use with morloc.

#8This is fine if all you care about is functions. Very little in Python is just functions though, and the same is true in C++. The issue with FFI is always adapting the different concepts from one language to another. I can't see how (or if they try) to unify other language's OOP with a functional language over the top.
I like the idea though - one functional language to rule them all is a great dream!

From the git repo history it looks like the original name was "Loc", for "Language of Composition".
