Congratulations on the new release Yorick! Inko is pretty close to the ideal language I'd like to use in 2022. I'll give this new version a try soon.

Do a bit of Rust and then C++ will make sense after you learn about ownership and lifetimes.

alias rm=trash

I have a habit of cleaning up the workspace in my machine. This alias saved me a 1000 times already.

Title needs an edit to clarify what kind of framework this is.

Re:Ask HN: What interesting stuff are you browsing? on Sunday May 17, 2020 @01:52PM (#23213723)
Not browsing per se but I've been reading https://datadass.dev/ and reading source code of various storage engines and their documentation. SQLite and Postgres have a very good documentation with implementation details. The plan is to write my own storage engine. I'm creating a spec for my own implementation for now. This has been keeping me busy while I'm not doing my regular work.

I finally "understood" C++ after writing a bit of Rust and studying the ownership principle.
Re:Gleam: A statically typed language for the Erlang VM on Monday April 20, 2020 @05:33AM (#22922408)
You might want to check Inko[0] out. It is still in alpha stage of development so you can probably contribute to it as well.

Inko is a gradually typed, OOP language which uses erlang like isolated processes that don't share memory for concurrency.

Re:Agner Krarup Erlang on Wednesday December 04, 2019 @01:28PM (#21705265)
I always thought Erlang got its name from a measurement unit in telephony called Erlang[0]. Never looked into why this unit was called Erlang though.
