A year or so ago, I posted about an intriguing, new #programming language called #MoonBit, which I discovered on the #wasm site. MoonBit is designed expressly for edge, cloud, and IoT. It has all the much-adored OCamlisms. And despite my dislike of ALGOLish blocky syntax, I say without reservation that MoonBit’s syntax is tastefully designed. In other words, MoonBit is #ReasonML done right.
Of late, this language has matured rather quickly. Its toolchain is refined. Documentation is comprehensive—a rarity amongst new languages. Yet, the website conservatively claims to be not yet production-ready. Humble—good on them.
But despite this refreshing humility, the examples include an implementation of the λ-calculus and the graph reduction G-machine. 💪
Anyone who likes #OCaml but wants an “on the edge”, lightweight, wasmy language should give MoonBit a try.
