Show HN: Fuse – statically typed functional programming language
Hi HN! I've been working on the fuse programming language, it's a statically typed purely functional language with higher-kinder types and ad-hoc polymorphism. It compiles to the GRIN whole-program optimizer, producing LLVM-generated native code.
Fuse supports ADTs, Generics, Type Methods, Traits, Pattern matching etc. all in a functional style with no mutations.
I’ve been developing the language for 5 years, with code written in Scala. I’ve started coding the language from the base of System F that was implemented as part of the book: Types and Programming Languages (tapl). And then extending with concepts such as Bidirectional Type Checking with Higher-Rank Polymorphism.
I’ve mainly drawn inspiration from Rust, Haskell, Scala and Python (in terms of syntax). It all started because I wanted a language that has Rust-like concepts such as: ADT, Traits, Impl block syntax, etc. but have the pure functional semantics.
I'd would love feedback on the language design and its general usage.
