Working on goblin, a scripting language that compiles to Go.

The idea: dynamic + minimal syntax for scripting, but you get a single static binary and Go's concurrency primitives (goroutines/channels) for free. No runtime to ship, easy to deploy anywhere.

Intentionally few features, the goal is small and scriptable. Someone with programming experience should be able to pick it up in half an hour.

Still very early stage.

And it's a ICOed programing language, maybe the first?


Sorry, what is an ICO? (I guess it's not the Indian Computing Olympiad )


Initial Coin Offering: selling a bunch of cryptocurrency tokens as a combination of kickstarter and get-rich-quick scheme. Often a scam.

Yes.


Looks fine in Beijing.


I thought it was a go & wasm & vue example before explored the repo for minutes.


China have Zhaoxin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhaoxin) which can produce X86 chips already.


In terms of performance, VIA Nano and EPYC are hardly comparable.


Too young, too simple, sometimes naive.


Now who the hell gave them any money for that?


Investors who have FOMO (fear of missing out).


+No Clue.


> As you can imagine, Ruby code intelligence (type inference, etc.) is super tough, and there are maybe 5-10 people in the world who could build it right now.

Is Yin Wang in the list?


Do you know what happened to RubySonar?

I remember reading something about it, but now only search engines retain traces of it.


Here is his post about why he closed source the PySornar and RubySonar: http://www.yinwang.org/blog-cn/2017/04/18/close-source


Thank you.

Too bad it's in Chinese, but Google Translate got me the gist. An unfortunate story.

Not sure why he didn't settle on GPL or AGPL, though.


I don't followed him before, but when I clicked the title and saw I have followed him. Now my GitHub timeline is full of him ...


Java is just for bootstrap, the compile to native code.
