Imba is probably one of the best kept web development secrets! Sindre has done a remarkable job of making an insanely terse while powerfull language for building web applications. Not that it's limited to web applications only, the syntax translates perfectly for any other area as well.
The fact that a platform like Scrimba was built using this language and probably only a handfull developers should make you want to learn from someone like that even more!
It's also the only learning platform I've ever recommended where I see people staying and learning more.
Something seems to be broken in the Imba website for me in both FF and Chrome for MacOS.
When I go to the main website: https://imba.io/
Then click on the "Demo" button
I get taken to the "Playground": https://imba.io/try/examples/apps/playground/app.imba
There is no code on the page but the preview seems to work. Same thing with all of the other examples. They work in the Preview panel, but no code loads at all.
Looking in the dev console I see a few errors:
GET https://imba.io/monaco/min/vs/loader.js HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
current file did set undefined
There's a free Scribe course on Imba: https://scrimba.com/learn-imba-c01h
Haven't gotten around to it yet, hope it's still relevant :P
It's still relevant, the language hasn't changed much since I made this course.
I'm hoping Imba will get more attention with the upcoming v2 release. It has tons of cool ideas and the "no reactivity" state paradigm is so much easier to reason about.
Also its css notation is what Tailwind should have been.
Btw you're the Postgres.js author, right?
It's got all the right decision for the scope it's covering!
Yeah, I'm the author of Postgres.js, although it hasn't gotten the tlc it deserved lately cause I've been too busy with another soon to be public project.
fun fact I learned about Imba is that it's name stands for "imbalance" (like in computer games!)
