Ask HN: Trying to Find a Post

1 point·hibikisama··7 comments

Hi HN! I created this account because I'm trying to find a post from a few days ago in regards to a programming language like Haskell. I think it had some sort of functional programming aspect to it. I was searching it through the search bar and couldn't find it after going 15 pages deep and checking comments too.

Were you thinking about Idris 2? (https://www.idris-lang.org/idris-2-version-010-released.html)

You should use the algolia HN search, btw (https://hn.algolia.com)

Hi, I did you algolia HN search, but couldn't find it.

Sadly, this is not the language I'm looking for, but thank you for sharing it

Roughly what day, and what search terms have you tried? Can you remember any unusual words? How long was the thread?

Was it this one?

I want to say it was only 4-5 days ago max. I just remember the post had over 100 upvotes and there was a medium amount of discussion about it. I believe the author of the language was in the comments section, but I could be mistaken.

Sadly, it was not this language, but thank you for the link

If it had over 100 votes and was in the last few days you might find it by scanning through here:

You can also look at the front page from a specific day here:

Through that I found this item:

Clojure: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22797858

And this:

IO: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22796409

Thank you so much! I was able to find it by looking at the front page for a specific day.

The language is called Pointless: https://ptls.dev/. It appears to be a scripting language with functional programming ideologies.

Cool ... pleased I could help.
