Show HN: Quokka – a self-hosting, deterministic programming language
4 hours ago
- Quokka is a self-hosting programming language emphasizing clarity, reliability, and deterministic design.
- It uses a bootstrap process from a small C host to a fully self-hosted interpreter, verified via cryptographic hashes.
- The Joey standard library extension integrates with Python and PyTorch through a JSON IPC for minimal core bloat.
- Joey supports fine-tuning models like Llama-3 with Unsloth, including CUDA acceleration, with a native runtime in development.
- The language is open source under MIT License from v0.1.0, with documentation for setup, error handling, and ML pipeline integration.
