The Ink blog
A blog by Linus about the human-software interface.
In 2019, I made a programming language for myself called Ink. Since then, I’ve used it to build a number of side projects, including a ray tracer, a compiler, an assembler, a Twitter client, and a few of my personal productivity tools. I write about Ink and software at large on this blog, and it’s also served by a server written in Ink.
Ink takes after Go, JavaScript, and Lua. Here’s a simple web server in Ink.
std := load('std')
log := std.log
listen('0.0.0.0:8080', evt => evt.type :: {
'error' -> log('Error: ' + evt.message)
'req' -> (evt.end)({
status: 200
headers: {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}
body: 'Hello, World!'
})
})
