We’re Robin, Louis, and Thomas. Pipelex is a DSL and a Python runtime for repeatable AI workflows. Think Dockerfile/SQL for multi-step LLM pipelines: you declare steps and interfaces; any model/provider can fill them. Why this instead of yet another workflow builder? - Declarative, not glue code: you state what to do; the runtime figures out how. - Agent-first: each step carries natural-language context (purpose, inputs/outputs with meaning) so LLMs can follow, audit, and optimize. Our MCP server enables agents to run pipelines but also to build new pipelines on demand. - Open…

Hi HN, I built MOL, a domain-specific language for AI pipelines. The main idea: the pipe operator |> automatically generates execution traces — showing timing, types, and data at each step. No logging, no print debugging. Example: let index be doc |> chunk(512) |> embed("model-v1") |> store("kb") This auto-prints a trace table with each step's execution time and output type. Elixir and F# have |> but neither auto-traces. Other features: - 12 built-in domain types (Document, Chunk, Embedding, VectorStore, Thought, Memory, Node) - Guard assertions: `guard answer.confidence > 0.5 : "Too low"` -…

I've been working on a new programming language for AI agents. I would love your input on what makes programming languages good for AI agents, especially syntax, compiler, and tooling that could help AI agents write code. What makes Sigil good for coding agents? I've turned conventions into compiler rules whenever possible. The compiler owns the canonical printer and every AST has one accepted textual representation. For almost every syntax feature I tried to save tokens. Order and naming conventions are enforced. No more "I think this argument is important so it should come first." Most…

Hey HN, We’ve been experimenting with how to make AI agents more deterministic, observable, and production-safe, and that led us to build AgentML — an open-source language for defining agent behavior as state machines, not prompt chains. My co-founder posted before but linked to the project website instead of the repo, so resharing here. AgentML lets you describe your agent’s reasoning and actions as a finite-state model (think SCXML for agents). Each state, transition, and tool call is explicit and machine-verifiable. That means you can: - Reproduce any decision path deterministically -…
