␀form – or NULform if your font is lacking – is an experimental IRC bot written
|
|
|
|
|
|
in [Elixir](http://elixir-lang.org/), a language built on top of Erlang. The bot
|
|
|
|
|
|
is only a secondary result of my effort to try to learn a new language and new
|
|
|
|
|
|
programming paradigms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this stage (and probably forever), ␀form is not even alpha quality and even
|
|
|
|
|
|
releases in the supposedly stable branches can contain errors and may not even
|
|
|
|
|
|
compile.

## Goals for ␀form
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Functional-ish design
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Distributed, with tasks not blocking others from completion
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Performant and able to scale to many networks and users
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Live code reloading without restarting processes
|
