Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2026)

Ive been working on Kettle, it is a language for quantum-classical computing
I find quantum mechanics fascinating and wanted a better way to play with it. Linear types prevent copying qubits, effects track what's quantum vs pure. The type system catches mistakes that would otherwise blow up at runtime.
Runs on a local simulator (with various qubit types modelled) or IBM hardware (sort of). Still a research and learning language for me - I break things regularly.
If any real quantum physicists are lurking, Id love to hear what Ive got wrong!

This sounds very interesting to me. I have thinking about, researching similar projects - would love to know more and contribute.

Yes, thats a fair point, I will add something to help explain each. To be honest I had never heard of Hatha until I started building this, but as I aggregated the data it is a keyword that came up quite a lot.
Thanks for the feedback!

I hear you; it was something that prevented my trying a real class for a long while, and I still struggle with the spiritual and "energy" side of it. But once I got past that and focused on the exercises and breathing I was amazed how much it helped me.

Great! I hope you find find it useful even in a small way. And, as @stronglikedan commented, if you enjoy it, try a in-person class - you get so much more out of it than watching a video :)

I have suffered from back problems for many years and the only thing that has really, genuinely helped is Yoga.
I built this little app to help remove one more barrier to me practicing everyday.

But the article is about phoenix from nothing. The reader is encouraged to work through each literate commit. Mix is not used until half way through the article.

Ive been waiting for a tutorial like this. I am most likely doing something wrong, but sadly the code samples do not function as listed. Even cloning the repo and executing the commands listed only results in errors after the first step.

Reading this comment just made me realize the same. The two best developers I have worked with no longer write code.

A friend has been working on a similar project for a while that allowed the rider to tailor, in great detail, the kind of route required. The algorithms involved are pretty interesting!

Using brew bundle, run `brew bundle --help` for info. I then store the Brewfile along with my other dotfiles

Ditto. I install almost everything via brew and brew cask, and store the list of packages in git. It makes setting up a new machine a breeze. Thanks for all your hard work!

I also maintain a component list http://dvemac.github.io/react-component-list/
Maybe you could use the source data in some way, as the UI I quickly knocked up is poor at best!
Its on github here https://github.com/DveMac/react-component-list/blob/master/l...
