New programming research project from Microsoft called Bosque.
A programming language without loops.

"a programming language without loops" is nothing special, look at erlang.

Oh my god my eyes the syntax is horrible.

@filthyranter
Well yes.... but no

Why is it implemented in JS?

Somehow it reminds me of typescript...

@HampusMa whats so horrible about it? Looks like a middle of the road, easy to learn language to me at first glance

Looks like someone tried to add FP stuff to a C-like syntax structure yet again...as of now I really don't see what's so unique about this. I expected this to at least implement their liquid types research, that's cool stuff.

"lets treat computers as stateless, even though almost all major applications deal HEAVILY in state."

Making tools to obfuscate the necessary, doesn't make the necessary vanish.

It obfuscates it.
