Localhost: A Tale of Three Languages

✨ RSVP HERE: https://luma.com/8gc7m4rw —-

Join us at RC on Tuesday, December 2nd at 6:30pm for our December Localhost!

​🌩️🌩️🌩️ We'll have very special set of three lightning talks from RC alums who are building their own programming languages: Ryan Goldstein on Felt, Bruce Hill on Tomo, and Frederic Kettelhoit on Kombucha.

This event has limited seats for the public.

​Felt —-- ​Ryan Goldstein

​Felt is a programming language designed to write games and toys. The project includes the Felt compiler (which outputs WebAssembly), the Felt language server, and a tree-sitter grammar for syntax highlighting.

​Tomo — The Language of Tomorrow —- ​Bruce Hill

​Tomo is a fast, simple, and safe programming language that cross-compiles to C with garbage collection. Tomo is statically typed and imperative, but borrows some of the best ideas from functional and array programming languages and some of the conveniences and readability of dynamic languages like Python.

​Kombucha — A Minimal and Malleable Language —---- ​Frederic Kettelhoit

​Building a useful programming language can feel like a monumental task, requiring countless contributors and years of work. But what if we approached implementing a programming language less like building the pyramids and more like cooking a meal, something that is small and personal, yet also useful? Fred is exploring the idea of home-cooked software by building Kombucha, a small and personal language that is meant to be used symbiotically within a larger ecosystem.

​View Frederic’s work:

​This event is in-person only. A recording of the talk will be made available on the Recurse Center YouTube channel.
