Ekto

by @tel

I'm working on an easy-to-embed typed language called Ekto. I am taking a lot of inspiration from Koka and aiming to support full multi-shot delimited continuations all while keeping the virtual machine deeply predictable from the host side. I'm also rebuilding an integrated task/knowledge/publication system I'd previously built atop Gemini's Gemtext format. While I loved the simplicity, I've discovered that there are lots of burrs in that design, especially on the publication side, which I'd be able to lift by using a more fully featured document format like Djot.
