A DECADE OF DEVELOPING A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Inko is a statically typed language that compiles into machine code using LLVM. This article highlights lessons learned while developing the programming language. Inko was originally heavily inspired by Ruby and Smalltalk, but 10 years later, it's closer to Rust, Erlang, and Pony. It has been used to write meaningful applications like HVAC automation software, a Markdown parser, a changelog generator, and more.
