Lumina Functional Programming Language

My programming language Lumina now has a usable native x86 compiler, with a basic standard library for Linux. The goals are rather ambitious, but the results are starting to show. While platform and ecosystem support is currently very limited, I'm hoping to gather some first impressions and opinions on the design. As well as gauge the level of interest for this kind of language. Like mentioned in the README, there are some examples and a documentation page to get familiar with the language. Examples: https://github.com/luminalang/lumina/tree/main/examples…

    Micro-mitten – Research language with compile-time memory management2020 · github.com · ▲236

    I've been working on implementing the compile-time approach to memory management described in this thesis (https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/techreports/UCAM-CL-TR-908.pdf) for some time now - some of the performance results look promising! (Although some less so...) I think it would be great to see this taken further and built into a more complete functional language.

    Silk, a simple systems programming language2020 · ajaymt.github.io · ▲79

    Hi HN! Silk is a project I began working on approximately six months ago without any prior experience or knowledge of compiler design, and it's been a frustrating but fun learning experience. It is very much a work in progress, but I would love to hear feedback of any kind!

    Lumina – Open-source observability for LLM applicationsJan 2026 · github.com · ▲6

    Hey HN! I built Lumina – an open-source observability platform for AI/LLM applications. Self-host it in 5 minutes with Docker Compose, all features included. The Problem: I've been building LLM apps for the past year, and I kept running into the same issues: - LLM responses would randomly change after prompt tweaks, breaking things - Costs would spike unexpectedly (turns out a bug was hitting GPT-4 instead of 3.5) - No easy way to compare "before vs after" when testing prompt changes - Existing tools were either too expensive or missing features in free tiers What I Built: Lumina is…

    Blade – A simple, fast, clean and dynamic programming language2021 · ▲7

    Hi all, I've been working on a new programming language called Blade for a couple of months now and think it's time I introduced it to people and get reactions and feedbacks. Plus, I need people to test it and find the bugs in it. The repository is at https://github.com/blade-lang/blade and the documentation is in progress and going great at bladelang.com and even though I wanted to wait to write everything before I do this before, I think it's best to get started with letting people know about it now. There are lots of tests in the repository and experienced developers…

    Ink: An LLVM based programming language [WIP]2015 · ▲6

    Hi there. I'm working on a programming language -- called Ink - in my spare time, with a friend. It uses LLVM for the backend, the parser and lexer are both hand written in C. The project is just for a bit of fun, we aren't trying to "revolutionize the programming language", but we're okay with being a bit quirky and out of the box with some of the syntax/features in the language. At the moment, the language is in it's early stages, and there's still a lot to do, which means that if you want to learn more about compilers, now would be a good time to start working on the language, since…
