BosqueLanguage VS claro-lang

Very interesting, so this is another potential for Typescript -> Native code.

The feature set looks pretty neat, and it's probably the first project by a larger company that I've seen use deno (required for building).

Docs are pretty light, but there is _some_ here: https://github.com/microsoft/BosqueLanguage/blob/master/docs...

I'm not super familiar but it looked cool when I read about it a few years ago

Also, differentiable programming is interesting and getting lots of attention (jax, zygote, enzyme, kornia etc). I don't know if there is a "killer app" outside just training neural networks yet, but it's worth watching and e.g. kornia is doing some cools stuff

First, since i'm interested in programming languages, I ran into microsoft's Bosque which one of its goals is a garbage collector that never stops the world. Unfortunately they do not provide any info about it, so I begun looking by myself.

Create a folder you want to work out of and copy the docker file from the Bosque git repository into that folder. Using the command palette (ctrl+shift+p on Linux), select to open a folder in a container. Select the folder and instead of selectinging the nice variety of base containers they have built-in select to use the docker file that is in the folder. Just wait and eventually it builds the image and loads the folder. (Going forward it will turn on and shut off the image when you run this folder, nice!)

Yes, Bosque https://github.com/microsoft/BosqueLanguage

Interesting, although it seems to currently be missing a license. While Bazel and I are for sure not friends, I found this funny https://github.com/JasonSteving99/claro-lang/blob/v0.1.495/W... I guess it's similar to having a maven build under Nix but my relationship to Bazel is why I got a chuckle out of the russian doll setup

Oh wow, it looks like we've stumbled upon the same construct! In my language, Claro, what you call "interfaces" are called "contracts". I've found it to be a very powerful abstraction!

In fact, you've actually been a huge source of inspiration for building keyword-generics into the programming language I've been working on in private for the past 2 years! The language is called "Claro" and if you're interested, please take a look at the blocking-generics syntax that your initiative has inspired.

I've tried to do something unique in my lang, Claro. To avoid spamming my same comment again, check out my answer to a very similar thread yesterday

Didn't see the Github link (but having all the info here is certainly appreciated)

Hmm, so I still feel that C3's imports actually are binding to a specific implementation like other imports (Java/C/python/etc). I think a language would need to embed dependency injection concepts deep into its veins to avoid this. You'd need a way for implementation files to specify that they depend on something with a certain name and a certain interface but not to name the specific implementation. Then a separate parallel module system (more like a Guice (dep injection framework) module than the modules in C3) would indicate the specific implementation that happens to be desired this run of the program. This is the inherent modularity that I'm looking to implement in Claro. There's some prototyping of this idea in the example programs at https://github.com/JasonSteving99/claro-lang/blob/main/src/java/com/claro/claro_programs/modules.claro

In Claro I'm trying the following distinct types of procedures:
