Tulip - A Language for Humans

Explore the innovative programming language Tulip in this conference talk from Strange Loop. Delve into Tulip's unique design, which draws inspiration from Erlang's runtime and ML-like syntax while introducing key innovations for REPL ergonomics. Discover how Tulip, developed by the Snek language community, emphasizes languages created by minority designers and implementers. Learn about Tulip's basic syntax, blocks, tag words, and abstraction tools. Examine its processes, semantics, formal abstraction, runtime, embedding capabilities, and debugging features. Gain insights into web programming with Tulip and understand its compiler design. Walk away with valuable takeaways on this human-centric language that challenges traditional notions of what makes a programming language "good."
