That said, people are already using this language for their projects -- even commercial ones: http://impredicative.com/ur/users.html http://impredicative.com/ur/users.html
- troupo 3y agoI've learned that if there's a language, there's someone using it commercially :)
- Tomte 3y agoI stumbled across it, because bazqux.com (which I‘m trialling now) uses it: Is BazQux Reader really written in Haskell and Ur/Web? Yes. I love to use the best tools available.
- drive-by-kment 3y agoI am now also trialing bazqux. It is not bad. Is this the power of the best tools available?
- drive-by-kment 3y agoIn all seriousness, this is probably the best RSS reader I have used recently. It's, so much faster than what I was using that I had to redo all my estimates for how long it should take to do stuff with an RSS reader. I had to get a stopwatch and start clocking how long it takes me to do things using a computer recently, because I swear like half the software I was using was slow for no reason despite buying super fast ssd/ddr18 ram/cpu etc. I got rid of all my games I could not launch from the desktop and be playing the game within 30 seconds, and my entire outlook on gaming felt better. I really hate when software wastes your time.
- walkerbrown 3y agoYes, I was definitely expecting cuneiform and base 60 literals.
- all2 3y agoI want this now. Bonus points if it's a vector language and is as terse as K.
- postmodest 3y agoI thought this would be about the First Programming Language that nobody remembered, the ur-heimat incubator of some obscure syntax that became everything from FORTRAN to Ruby
