I’m building LongLink, an open-source platform for building and running business apps in Python. While studying, I worked part-time at a bank building an internal tool. The team loved being able to request features and have them implemented exactly as they needed. I wanted to make it easier to build these kinds of applications without losing flexibility.

The code lives in a normal repository, so it can be developed, tested, versioned, reviewed, and c…

Kio is a statically typed, hosted language that is designed to be ultra-portable. Kio 0.1 supports eight host languages and more will be added in the coming weeks. Kio is based on polymorphic lambda calculus with higher-kinded types. Kio has type-driven macros (elaborators) and it can statically check asserted equivalences using a normalizer. Kio is a minimalistic language. It doesn't have built-in effectful functions and it doesn't even have built-in string or numeric types. Instead programs declare the capabilities they need and the host supplies them. The language is designed with AI, whic…
