We're making coding 100x easier, allowing you to build scalable backend services in minutes/hours rather than weeks/months. We do this by removing as much accidental complexity as possible from building software, esp around infrastructure, deployment, and APIs. More at https://darklang.com.
• Product: Dark, a holistic combination of a programming language, structured editor, and infrastructure compiler. Basically, anything that we need to do to remove accidental complexity from development.
• Phase: Trying it out with first users (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16803189). So quite early, definitely pre-product/market-fit, so you’ll be heavily influencing the product.
• Funding: $3.5m
• Market: We're targeting existing developers for the next few years
• Mission: allowing a billion people to code
• Values: Do you best work, inclusion, autonomy, continuous improvement
• Stack: OCaml, Elm, Kubernetes
