Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • ecsharp

    Home of LoycCore, the LES language of Loyc trees, the Enhanced C# parser, the LeMP macro preprocessor, and the LLLPG parser generator.

  • It might be possible to make a couple of these ideas into businesses, but the ideas I've spent the most time on (programming language translation and LES/LeMP/EC#) don't seem to have any path to commercial success, at least not without greatly hurting the value proposition by attempting to charge big bucks for something that I believe should be open source. Plus I've been working on SyncLib, a serialization technology that is superior for most purposes (in much the same way as MobX is superior to Redux - it reduces the amount of code you must write and maintain), and other free libraries.

  • InfluxDB
