EYG a predictable, and useful, programming language
summary
EYG claims to cut deployment and dependency complexity by making programs predictable through first-class effect types that pause execution for IO (file reads, network calls, external continuations) and compose multiple effects cleanly. It ships a tiny shell for 1–2 line programs, supports hash-referenced scripts so 3-line snippets run without pulling packages, avoids semver dependencies, and targets low-business-logic, high-IO tasks (including cloud integrations and sending tweets); prototypes work when shown to non-programmers.
