codespan VS go-littr

Having good error messages is one of the important priorities for me in my compiler, so I made the commitment early and am using codespan[0] to report the errors, which is going well so far.

0: https://github.com/brendanzab/codespan

There's https://github.com/brendanzab/codespan as well, and a number linked from their pages.

Working in a GENERAL relational language (ie: not just a query one, like SQL, but general to make full apps, like python/delphi/c# + linq):

https://tablam.org

that is my attempt to resurrect the spirit of the FoxPro/dbase kind of tools.

Is on Rust, and is also my way to sharp my skills on it.

Now, I'm in the process of improve the parsing to be robust like in Rust, so i can show good error messages:

https://github.com/brendanzab/codespan

and also, hopefully, implement a solid type inference that work fine with the challenge of infer joins like "customer CROSS JOIN address".

The idea, long-term, is create a tool alike MS Access/FoxPro+Excel that I think could be great for a lot of companies (that are using stuff like "BigData" tools -like hadoop- when them are struggling with more fundamental issues!) and improve the condition of make business apps/analysis.

I already hear some interest when the vision is described in full, and I certain any company that use Excel/Access to deal with data and/or make business apps is anemically served by it.

The alternatives now are only for the cloud, and I instead wanna a local-first/on-premise offering...

Nice error messages (for YOUR lang) https://github.com/brendanzab/codespan or https://docs.rs/ariadne/0.1.3/ariadne/

If you're interested in Go, I develop such a project and the plumbing required for it.

The code is at https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr and you can check it out at https://brutalinks.tech

For people favouring to the old reddit interface more, I created another federated alternative: https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr (with an example instance at https://brutalinks.tech).

Sadly it received less publicity and mind share than lemmy, so not everything might be up to the expectations of the HN crowd.

The code is on github: https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr An example is at: https://littr.me Status: not done.

Considering it's received HN's kiss-of-death, perhaps a pointer to the code is useful: https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr

If you're interested in another option to lotide, I'm working on a very similar project to it, called brutalinks. You can check it out an example instance at https://brutalinks.tech. The code is on github and sourcehut.

I started a go project to create a link aggregator similar to HN and old reddit, but built on top of ActivityPub.

It's targeted at small to medium communities, but at the same time it can reach outward through the federation mechanism that ActivityPub provides. Outside of immediate support to intercommunicate with other instances of its own platform, it will handle interactions from the larger fediverse at large: Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, etc.

Currently this is a one man project, namely me, and I would welcome support in any area that people could help: development, design, documentation, graphics, copy, etc.

The project can be found at https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr, and if anyone is interested there is a mailing list where people can get in touch: https://lists.sr.ht/~mariusor/activitypub-go

Some details about the project can be found on its wiki: https://man.sr.ht/~mariusor/go-activitypub/brutalinks/index....

https://littr.me/ is another federated reddit-like project under development, a "link aggregator" as they call it. https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr

I see that people already recommended lemmy, but if you're looking for something closer to old reddit and hacker news I am working on https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr. An example instance is at https://littr.me

I'm building something that could help in this regard: https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr

It's a distillation of the early reddit into a discussion platform that speaks activitypub. This means that the goal is not to have "one site" to rule them all, but that communities can each create their own and then interact with others if they chose to.

An demo instance is at https://littr.me
