Show HN: Embeddable scripting language for Go

1 point

4 months ago

Hi! Funxy - a statically typed scripting language that compiles to native binaries and can leverage the entire Go ecosystem.

The main pain points I wanted to solve:

- Quick scripting without sacrificing type safety

- Seamless interop with existing Go packages

- Single-file deployment for tools and automation

What makes it different from other embedded languages:

- Native Go package access (declare deps in config.yaml, get auto-generated bindings)

- BusyBox-style multi-script bundling

- Strong type inference that actually works well

I'd really appreciate technical feedback on:

- The Go interop approach (any edge cases I might have missed?)

- The language design decisions (pipes, pattern matching, etc.)

- Potential use cases I haven't considered
