A programming language for a continuous delivery world
summary
Live demo builds a back-end app on Dark with a React front end hosted on its CDN, a key/value datastore, background workers and event emits, and built a full app in ten minutes that sends Twilio and Slack notifications live. The system shows real-time traces of requests and datastore results, requires no CI or deployment setup, exposes HTTP client and Twilio/Slack integrations as language functions, and the demo succeeds end to end with no manual infrastructure configuration.
