Are you asking about Luna? :) Sure! Luna comes currently with its VM but we are also working on a backend allowing to compile it to machine code, so every graph you write can be also used as a library and called for example from C.

I know Houdini very well, I've been writing plugins to it for years. Vex is capable of handling complex expressions, but it is still limited to predefined 20 or 30 types and you cannot extend it (you can in a hackish way using some C++

We are right now finishing installers on all platforms, making examples and working on new website. I don't want to set a deadline, but we work hard to make it just "around the corner" and a you can see, we're almost the

Hi! Thank you for such great description of the process. In fact I know it well, I originate from the same domain - i was working for few years as FX TD :) You can think of Luna just like about a general purpose programming language. You ca

Each node is a function, so if a node uses itself, you've got recursion (loop). Branching like if is just few edges going into a node and the result goes out :)

1) it uses painters model 2) you are allowed to place in the same x/y, but we're looking for a way to indicate it to you. 3) you are able to place nodes so the edges overlap, but we also are looking for a way to indicate it to yo

Thank you for this name! I really like the connection, it is in fact super cool. The only thing that puts me off when thinking about this name is that "Janus" is a very similar name to "Janusz", which is in polish a name

Yes it is, `1 :: 1 | .. | 10`. The pipe combines categories, so you can as well write `1 :: 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10`. Both of the forms are however not yet supported in the main branch of official compiler and will not be supported during the

Thank you! We will be releasing demos soon!

Bob I'm happy you like it! We'd love to hear your feedback after your tests :)

Great! I'd like to help make it happen. Please sign to our list and make sure you read mails from spam folder. Let's be in touch after the release, soon. Alternatively, just drop me a line at wojciech at luna-lang.org and let&#x27

the_cat_kittles I think you don't get the point of my answer or simply my answer was confusing, sorry for that. I did not wanted to start a big discussion here and just throw a controversial, stupid example. But it very clearly shows m

the_cat_kittles I did not wanted to hurt your feelings. Of course it is a language. By saying it is not I just wanted to express my strong anty-JS feelings, but they are of course very subjective :)

You are right, all the last 3 lines should be aligned max to the left. We'll fix that soon on new website!

That is a very good point. We treat "monads" in a very special way in Luna - they have their own type section and we can analyse them and report errors much clearer than Haskell can for example. This does NOT mean that we limit th

It targets few backends. Currently it runs on our VM, but we are working on targetting GHC's Haskell Core (which then compiles to LLVM IR). Luna's compiler is of course a custom compiler written in Haskell. Standard library looks

I completely understand that, but we care about it very much and don't want to have problems with it. Because of that I asked about help with the naming :)

This is what we want to deliver a little bit later. So you could go to our website, click "start", make the graph and everything will be run and scaled automatically for you, delivering you the results. Are we talking about the sa

Sure! Is webgl good enough for you? If so, I will prepare an example and include it in the official release. If you need more "standard" GPU power, then it will be possible, but a little bit hackish on the beginning (we don't

crawfordcomeaux I'm really curious about your further thoughts. Could we chat more about it? Would you be so nice and drop me a line to wojciech @ luna-lang.org ?

I don't care what they done in terms of stable runtime. I mean, I care, but not in the context of the language itself. Language is all - combined! The runtime, syntax, libs, everything. I call it "experience" or "feeling

I will reconsider hiding my real feelings. I really feel I should not hide them ;)

We are open to suggestions here. We know that Luna brings a great power to Data Scientists but there have to be a good way to show this power to them. I don't know currently what way would be the best and we've got a little time u

Qubex, I'm sad such comment appeared. I'm sad only because it shows how rare people are honest while building companies. How can we build something that engages other people and cheat on them? Look, we've been working on Luna

I prefer to alienate potential converts than convert JavaScripters! Just joking of course. It is hard to hide hate to a non-language treated as a super cool language. But you are right, I've never thought about it this way. I will chan

We believe in something very similar, there are some differences though. Luna type system is not dynamic BUT it is also not mandatory. Our whole standard library does NOT mention a single type - all are inferred by type system and you can,

We are considering MIT or Apache v2, what do you recommend?
