GitHub App authentication in darklang

My friend introduced me to a project named darklang, or simply Dark. It's a serverless and deployless backend builder. A unique approach that sets it apart (at least for me) is stated on its Introduction page: “Darklang is an integrated language, framework, and editor for building web backends: REST API endpoints, asynchronous backgrou...

The general philosophy of darklang is removing accidental complexity from building backends by integrating the darklang #ProgrammingLanguage with the #infrastructure and #editor.

There's a lot more about this in our initial blog post: "What is Dark" (https://blog.darklang.com/what-is-dark/)

What is Dark?

Dark is a holistic programming language, structured editor, and infrastructure, for building backend web services. It’s aimed at frontend, backend, and mobile engineers. Our goal is to make coding 100x easier, which we believe will allow a billion people to build software. This is a huge challenge, that requires

One of the most interesting things about darklang is #deployless -- how we allow #code to be instantly deployed to #production. This is discussed in depth in "How Darklang deploys in 50ms" (https://blog.darklang.com/how-dark-deploys-code-in-50ms/)

How Dark deploys code in 50ms

Speed of developer iteration is the single most important factor in how quickly a technology company can move. Unfortunately, modern applications work against us: our systems are required to be live updated, silently and without downtime or maintenance windows. Deploying into these live systems is tough, requiring complex Continuous Delivery

Hey folks!

Darklang is a #ProgrammingLanguage, editor, and #PaaS, developed in public on #GitHub.

It started in 2017 and has had a tumultuous time, but is still being actively worked on by a small team led by @paulbiggar.

Darklang's goal is to make it 100x easier to build #backend #services. It's a #functional programming language, with some novel ideas, such as #TraceDrivenDevelopment and #deployless.
