Focusing on building out web app and then moving to the CLI and Terraform provider.


This is freaking cool. Nice job!


I made one. Hope it helps


Creating/capturing network diagrams and Infrastructure as Code from cloud providers.

Create one, the other comes with.


You know, I was thinking this the whole time. Didn't we (the people) spend millions to develop Ada for the US Army?

re-reading the 'prompt' > OS3I identified several focus areas, including (i) increasing the proliferation of memory safe programming languages; (ii) designing implementation requirements for secure, privacy-preserving security attestations; and (iii) identifying and promoting focused areas for prioritization.

I'm wondering how (i) would be accomplished? Mandating training/usage for government contractors? Making it a recommendation to school boards? Ada is so 'old' that no one is innovating for it anymore, besides AdaCore and a few others.

Maybe with the supply chain 'question', investment into those maintainers of core packages could help...


> We can seamlessly call C++ functions from Mu and vice-versa, and pure Mu functions can be used in Excel formulae via our Excel add-in.

wtf


What's weird about that? Excel is absolutely everywhere in finance, so if you have a special programming language that you consider to be part of your secret sauce it makes sense to integrate it into excel as well.

A friend who works as a at risk manager at a major bank sometimes shares horror stories about the giant spreadsheet they have for some part of their holdings. They have disabled the "automatic recalculation" feature because it takes over 48 hours to recalculate everything. This is after running it through a special excel compiler to speed it up.


Excel is everywhere used everywhere and for very important things.

I just never... thought about writing a Haskell plugin for it. It makes sense! Better than using some other language. Functional for Excel makes sense.

I love hearing horror stories about small (and large!) governments and companies abusing and misusing Excel. https://sheetcast.com/articles/ten-memorable-excel-disasters


It makes perfect sense; non-technical users and employees with different specializations (like actuaries) use lots of Excel, especially in fintech; and if you can share function implementations verbatim between your codebase and Excel, you get higher confidence for coherence.


It's not very different from using python to hook C/Fortran libraries together.
