I've played with some early betas of Dark and I must say being deployless may make a good headline, but there are many more-exciting features. There's visual programming, a concise OCaml-style language, a unique pub-sub mechanism baked right in, and integrated database support. It's a really fresh approach.

- majkinetor 7y agoOMG, visual programming! Instant turn-down, it simply doesn't and can't work ever.

There's visual programming, a concise OCaml-style language, a unique pub-sub mechanism baked right in, and integrated database support. So, everything that is currently delivered in the real world by technologies like OutSystems, which have an enterprise customer base, 1-click deploys, and that you can actually try for free.

Which means, once you go have 101 customers you'll have to charge users at minimum 62,5$/mo just to cover expenses. I'm not saying that's not cheap for what you get, but the "free" constraints are there.
- pbiggar 7y agoHi! Let me push back slightly on "visual programming". Dark looks and feels like writing textual code. There are some built-in visualizations, especially around code organization and infrastructure, but it's much more like coding in python in vscode than using Github actions.
