Thanks for your help. It has been fixed. Indeed, wrong copy and paste when building site ;).

Thanks, we were very surprised. We wanted to help others with this issue just in case it already happened to someone else with moderators ;).

HN has changed the main url above, and it's a wrong one !! We don't know why. It's disabled and we cannot change it for now. Correct url is www.val-lang.org.

We will update it when possible ;).

Hi co-hackers,

We’re Ivan and Hisham from Geneva (Switzerland). We have been working on a radically new programming language called Val for a couple of months now. Val language is a static language with a compile-time dynamic language called Valet. Think writing Python/Ruby/JS to generate C/Rust for quickly building Web, AI, Data-Intensive, and Low-Level applications.

It all started with our current project, an online funding platform for open-source projects. Think Kickstarter with a new business model. To seamlessly integrating all platform layers (web, business, and low-level systems), we needed a language to manage our heterogeneous solution that matched the requested performance and reliability levels. Mixing multiple languages in distributed environments at large scale is not a good strategy to create reliable systems.

Val is what you would have designed if you weren’t constrained by legacy code or backward compatibility. Val lets you first elegantly express your domain-specific knowledge to then map it into a robust implementation.

We have extensive experience delivering a broad range of systems, from embedded systems to financial platforms like blockchain.

We are at the beginning of our journey. Feedbacks, ideas, suggestions are highly appreciated.

The documentation is here to give you a glimpse of Val. We are looking to raise funds for our funding platform, and we need to clarify some points before publishing the source code.

You can already sponsor our project [4].

Thanks all!
