😅

I hit a similar issue but with nullable types, what if you specify the type params for the constructor?

Yes. In Persian, that’s the question mark: ؟

Welcome!

I actually don’t mind plpgsql!

On-device is good for the speed more than anything. Not requiring internet is a bonus.

You would need a way to represent things anyways, be it a custom json with a specific format that you use to show visual elements or a full-fledged language.

Existing languages are not ideal to be reviewed on a phone screen either. I think a complete solution looks something like a custom app, a custom language, and an on-device LLM. The ability to export your programs to existing systems like iOS shortcuts.

Agreed. Answered in the other thread. Visual blocks once you type can improve the experience here.

LLMs are not there to fully rely on them. Could be a great input mode.

There are other ideas: using reactive programming paradigms like a spreadsheet so the user sees the results immediately, …

Yeah as I said this is a low hanging fruit. Another thing is editing, UI can help with that, for example if we create a visual block that is easily editable instead of moving the cursor on actual characters. Repls would be better on a phone, something like python notebooks.

Of course I don’t mean brainfuck lol. A low hanging fruit is to use words instead of symbols. E.g. which one is easier to type on a phone between these two?

for (let i in 1..=10) { print(i); }
for i in 1 to 10 do print i done

The fewer symbols you use, the fewer keys you need to show in the keyboard which is critical in a the small screen of a phone. UI is really important too.

Wouldn’t be productive though. I want something like iOS’s shortcuts + repl.
