Thank you all for the pointers to related projects and research papers!

To address a couple common questions:

Q: Is Basalt open source? A: Not yet, but it will be. The language is still under heavy development, and it's currently being completely rewritten in Racket. I'm waiting until it's a bit more stable to release the code.

Q: Are there plans for a GUI tool? A: Yes, I think it would be awesome to have a GUI tool! It seems like a hard problem to implement this, so it might take some time. The live preview is the best that I have currently.



I love this. I really hope to see the Python version.

I'd love to explore what's possible with Basalt in a language I'm comfortable in, and integrate it with my favorite tooling.
