Fun (a programming language for the realtime web)
What if you could build realtime web apps with the same ease as you build static web pages in PHP today? Without long polling, event handling and state synchronization, the engineering complexity of realtime web applications would drop by an order of magnitude. There would be a fundamental shift in the way we build the realtime web. This is the future of Fun.
What is Fun?
To better understand what Fun is, let’s first look at what it’s not. Fun is not PHP. However, Fun and PHP have something in common: they use templates and logic to render data into HTML, or more generally speaking they map state to UI.
A significant subset of Fun already parses and compiles correctly, and fast progress is been made in implementing the remaining features. At this point the author (marcus west) can safely say that Fun is a viable project and that you will be able to use it to build realtime web application by the end of the year.
