Just a quick update on isomorf.io, we are bootstrapping the projections on the platform itself and so soon you will be able to design and implement your own. Stay tuned.

This sort of translation is definitely part of our syntactic sugar mission. If anyone wants to beta test particular languages for us just reach out.

Sorry about that. There should be a little X on the chat window that will close it.

Interesting. Thanks for the feedback. I think you are probably right that it sounds cool and appealing as a dev, but it's likely not a great use of resources in the short term.

Those sorts of general syntactic sugars are something we've put a lot of work into. (Currently if statements, for loops, for comprehensions, ternary operations, etc are all just sugar and don't affect the underlying source.) We al

Thanks! In terms of applications, our initial work has been to export functions as microservices onto existing platforms (e.g., Lambda). We've also explored downloading code as either native artifacts (e.g., maven) or as command-line a

Happy the blog post helped. One update is that we've moved to an entirely keyboard-based model for editing, so there is only minimal mouse work now. More details here if you are interested: https://blog.isomorf.io/an-ex

Real-world examples are in the works! Side effects and integration use-cases will be a part of our beta release. If you have specific integrations you are interested in, let us know. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. We will definitely have a way to hide those verbose namespaces.

by aaron_kent 9y ago
Interesting, thanks! We will maybe make that an option in the future for those who prefer text vs icons.

Sorry about that! We are experiencing significantly higher load than we are used to, but working on a fix presently.

Thanks! Learning is certainly an application we've considered. We have found significant interest in structured editing paradigms from those newer to coding and those who find the code-as-text paradigm frustrating/limiting. But we

Yeah, we use the beaker to mean unit tests. We like the icons because they keep the layout dense, but if the meanings aren’t clear that is good feedback for us

No worries, we were able to get accounts. It seems like an awesome community! We posted and have gotten a great response. Lots of encouragement and good feedback. There was even some talk of Intentional Programming and Charles Simonyi, whic

Thanks. Hadn't heard of that one. Seems like we need an invite. Would you be up for inviting us?

Thanks! We've seen your mentions, and we appreciate your enthusiasm. We clearly have similar visions for next generation development stacks. We'd love to get your feedback and discuss in more detail! We think that even beyond the

Thanks! While we customized syntax in the tour & sandbox to closely match familiar languages, the way code is rendered is totally configurable: the underlying ASTs are passed through a rendering layer with keywords/symbols/etc

Thanks! As far as the optimizations: we transpile the code to different target runtime languages where we can automatically instrument different optimizations. Currently our microservice runtime is Scala code and we can add a cache layer ar

Hello! I’m Aaron one of the co-founders of isomorƒ. Sorry our site was down when you visited. We’ve actually just pushed a new demo ( https://isomorf.io/#!/demos ) and we would love feedback on it (feedback@isomorf.com)!
