> I think a modern parallel is darklang.com. It might be great, but it faces the same resistance for the same reasons. They work similarly on the surface level, but the tradeoffs are quite far apart. The deployless nature of Dark on the backend is the central big benefit, and it's a distinction that doesn't exist when you are developing local GUI apps. Also, in Dark there isn't a peristent VM image that everything is entangled with, not to mention the lack of entanglement inherent in the FP language.
