The Internet discovers Loci

So it seems that in the last couple of days postings have appeared about Loci on Y Combinator and Reddit (first and second).

It’s really awesome to see that developers are interested in Loci and various questions have been asked about the language, which will help me to improve the documentation to better explain how the language works and the reasons behind the design decisions. The 1.2 release of Loci will be appearing in the next couple of weeks; it looks likely that there’ll be a desperate rush next week to get some great features into the compiler, and this release also includes some optimisation of Semantic Analysis (whereas 1.1 involved an enormous performance improvement to Code Generation).

If you’re reading this and you have a question, a suggestion and/or constructive criticism of the language, I recommend raising an issue on the GitHub repository and I’ll do my best to respond promptly; at some point I’ll probably set up a better system for discussion/questions (I’m thinking about a forum on the Loci website).
