Beagle, a source code management system that stores AST trees
Beagle is a source code management system that stores AST trees, not binary blobs. The general idea is a database for the code as a hub of all code-related activities and storage for all the related data (tickets, CI results, whatsnot).

Show HN: Eyot, A programming language where the GPU is just another thread
Eyot is a new language I’m building to make offloading work to the GPU as seamless as spawning a background thread.
