    I've spent the past few months building a language that is 99% compatible with CoffeeScript and 99% compatible with TypeScript. Essentially a reimagined CoffeeScript for 2022 that finished ES6s partially completed features, adds TypeScript support, and keeps the niceties of CoffeeScript. Example features: - Const assignment shorthand user := getUser() --- const user = getUser() - Parens optional and braceless nesting if x > 0 return --- if (x > 0) { return } - &fn shorthand nums.map &+1 --- nums.map($=>$+1) And a heck-ton more: https://github.com/DanielXMoore/Civet A big…

    Hi, HN. Gui, Lucis, and the deco.cx team here — we're a bunch of Brazilians building an open-source, all-in-one web editor for the modern TypeScript dev. Check out our GitHub at https://github.com/deco-cx/deco and discover more at our site https://deco.cx/. We built frontend tools at a hyper-growth e-commerce platform for 9 years. Deco.cx is the thing that we wish existed when we were managing hundreds of enterprise-grade React-based websites. The gist is: JSX, HTMX, TypeScript, Tailwind and Deno. All visually editable in a beautiful, collaborative,…

    We've been building Crust (https://crustjs.com/), a TypeScript-first, Bun-native CLI framework with zero dependencies. It's been powering our core product internally for a while, and we're now open-sourcing it. The problem we kept running into: existing CLI frameworks in the JS ecosystem are either minimal arg parsers where you wire everything yourself, or heavyweight frameworks with large dependency trees and Node-era assumptions. We wanted something in between. What Crust does differently: - Full type inference from definitions — args and flags are inferred automatically. No…

    Aria is a modern, dynamic scripting language. It is meant to be a "sweet spot" language, easy to pick-up and enjoyable to use. It comes with a familiar C-style syntax, and draws inspiration from a variety of languages. It has a small but usable standard library and strives to be a low-ceremony-get-stuff-done kind of language. It is currently at version 0.9 and I would love feedback as I work towards getting it to 1.0.

    Hi everyone I'm new here and i wanted to introduce my project i've been working on. Astra is a simple but powerful node.js to exe compiler. It uses esbuild and Node SEA. It uses postject to inject your code to nodejs binary. It focuses more on compiling cli and Servers like pkg or nexe (express) than fullstack applications like electron or tauri. It has rich ESM and typescript support. It has good DX and cli UX. I made it bc i didn't like using pkg or nexe, they cause a lot of problems with esm. LIMITATIONS: Now it has problems compiling projects with depencides containing binaries (e.g.…

    This absurd project started when I read a couple of blog posts that got very popular around here about solving the N queens puzzle using only Haskell's type system and TypeScript's type system. I figured I could implement Peano arithmetic using only TypeScript's type system. Turns out this have been done several times before, but I did it anyway. While working on it, I realized that you could emulate functions with conditional recursive types, writing them in a way that strongly resembles the equations that can be found in some functional programming languages. So I thought I could write a…
