Higher-Order Company: Complete Historical Overview

This document is a complete historical overview of the Higher Order Company. If you want to learn anything about our background, a good way to do so is to feed this Gist into an AI (like Sonnet-3.5) and ask it any question!

My Search for a Perfect Language

It all started around 2015. I was an ambitious 21-year-old CS student who, somehow, had been programming for the last 10 years, and I had a clear goal:

I want to become the greatest programmer alive

Higher-Order Company: Towards an Optimal Computer

What is the true nature of computation?

A hundred years ago, humanity answered that very question, twice. In 1936, Alan invented the Turing Machine, which, highly inspired by the mechanical trend of the 20th century, distillated the common components of early computers into a single universal machine that, despite its simplicity, was capable of performing every computation conceivable. From simple numerical calculations to entire

* Tiny customElement wrapper that enables scalable web component architecture.
* Define custom elements with a configuration object that separates markup from css and javascript.
* Uses a slotted light DOM (no shadow DOM) to allow for powerful component extension,
* composition and easier styling with external stylesheets and global css variables.
* Exports a component class that can be imported and explicitly used to be picked up by module bundlers.

A non-exhaustive list of WebGL and WebGPU frameworks and libraries. It is mostly for learning purposes as some of the libraries listed are wip/outdated/not maintained anymore.

Engines and libraries

• three.js: JavaScript 3D library
• stack.gl: an open software ecosystem for WebGL, built on top of browserify and npm.
• PixiJS: Super fast HTML 5 2D rendering engine that uses webGL with canvas fallback
• Pex: Pex is a javascript 3d library / engine allowing for seamless development between Plask and WebGL in the browser.
• Babylon.js: a complete JavaScript framework for building 3D games with HTML 5 and WebGL
• Filament: Filament is a real-time physically based rendering engine for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, macOS and WASM/WebGL
• ClayGL: A WebGL graphic library

A Taxonomy of Self-Types

Part I: Introduction to Self-Types

Datatypes in the Formality programming language are built out of an unusual structure: the self-type. Roughly speaking, a self-type is a type that can depend or be a proposition on it's own value. For instance, the consider the 2 constructor datatype Bool:
