CocoaGeekon Fizz – experimental language and runtime environment

hey (author here), so the code isn't available as I haven't decided to open source it or not yet. You are correct to point out that it's a LOT slower than more traditional Prolog due, in part, to a different architecture.

CocoaGeekon Launch HN: Slite (YC W18) – Note App for Teams

This is nice. A little hesitant to migrate to something that may not be around in a few months ... Not to be the voice of doom, but it's a legitimate concern IMHO (this isn't the first note web app) ...

I got one a few weeks ago and it's great. I love the form factor and it packs some good punch and works great on Ubuntu (17.10). However, the infamous and almost constant "coil whine" is a bummer :-|
