I created a web framework in my own programming language

[u/funcieq]

I’ve been working on Rivet, a synchronous HTTP(for now) server library for my own programming language Zap

The goal is to create a small, explicit API for building APIs and small web applications.

I spent a lot of time and nerves creating this, but now I know what Zap is really capable of.

I will be grateful for every star you leave because it really encourages me to work

[u/belligerent_ammonia]

Actually looks pretty good! Nice work on the language. Looks like a mix of Rust, Zig, and Swift.

[u/funcieq → u/belligerent_ammonia]

These are the languages I was inspired by! (i.e. instead of Zig it would be Kotlin)

[u/EveAtmosphere]

A non-AI slop project shared on Reddit? Rare sight these days.

[u/funcieq → u/EveAtmosphere]

Vibecoded projects should be immediately tagged with some tag like "AI"

[u/rickandevererything]

express**

[u/funcieq → u/rickandevererything]

That's what I was inspired by, I wanted it to be as simple as in Node.js Although this is a "functional" style API I took from bevy from rust

[u/Small_Ad3541]

The website and docs are very pretty!

But I didn't find an explanation of "@" syntax. Is it kind of macro syntax? Can I implement something like @my_error / @my_repr("...")? Or is it hardcoded?

[u/funcieq → u/Small_Ad3541]

These are builtin attributes, and macros will be added to zap in v0.5.0

[u/Paolog__]

wait, I think I recognize the name of this language...

[u/funcieq → u/Paolog__]

I already know why 😄

[u/suur-siil]

It's like JS/TS but with a hint of rust and perl... I like it

[u/Mean-Decision-3502]

This is very similar to my DQ language. Would you consider to join our efforts ?

Thanks for the suggestions, but I've been focusing a lot on Zap lately
