A programming language to make concurrent programs easy to write

This language has some interesting properties. Here's a code example featuring a user-defined event that triggers a handler. This kind of callback-oriented indirect application at the language level would be nice for async programs.

  from @std/app import start, print, exit
  event loop: int64
  on loop fn looper(val: int64) {
    print(val)
    if val >= 10 {
      emit exit 0
    } else {
      emit loop val + 1
    }
  }
  on start {
    emit loop 0
  }

A friend and I created a programming language that looks like Typescript and makes distributed programs shorter and easier to reason about. Alan's compiler and runtime exploits opportunities for parallelization across the computing resources available without being told to do so.
