Honestly, our "prototype" was screenshots from an 800 line demo, and about half the people we spoke to believed that this wasn't actually possible to build.
Can you speak more to the scope of this? I'll be watching the video later - but, I'm curious how this "isn't possible to build"?
Also curious about the reasoning behind a new language (Dark), instead of supporting other languages out of the box. Could've started simple with supporting node / python and worked towards go, rust, etc.
Specifically in the context of fundraising, we said "backends are way too hard to build, we can remove all the accidental complexity of infrastructure, deployment, and APIs". Many people felt that that was not possible.
The "Dark's philosophy" video addresses the language a little - everything that's cool in Dark is enabled by the super tight integration between the language, editor, and infra.
