In plain words

Elymas is a stack-based programming language designed for developers who want an unconventional approach to coding. Created by Drahflow, it uses stack-based operations and can be self-hosted. The language emphasizes a non-traditional programming paradigm with distinctive features that set it apart from mainstream languages. It is available as open-source software on GitHub for developers interested in exploring alternative language designs and stack-based computation models.

    Wrote a thing about what makes Elysia stand out in a performance benchmark game Basically, there's a JIT "compiler" embedded into a framework This approach has been used by ajv and TypeBox before for input validation, making it faster than other competitors Elysia basically does the same, but scales that into a full backend framework This gave Elysia an unfair advantage in the performance game, making Elysia the fastest framework on Bun runtime, but also faster than most on Node, Deno, and Cloudflare Worker as well, when using the same underlying HTTP adapter There is an escape hatch if…

  • I made an esoteric programming language that's read like a spellbook2025 · github.com · ▲176

    i made an esoteric programming language which i call spellscript. every program is a "spell" written in a "grimoire," and you have to use keywords like summon, enchant, inscribe, and conjure. it's literally read like a spellbook because the syntax consists of all natural language, and newlines are optional. your code can now be an essay, like everybody wants! for example, if you want to print something, you'd write: `begin the grimoire. inscribe whispers of "hello, world!". close the grimoire.` it has variables, dynamic typing, arrays, functions, conditionals, loops, string manipulation,…

  • Talanoa▲345

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
