Darklang release 5
A Darklang REPL showing a tuple with 3 elements

Darklang release 5 contains all the changes from August 2022. This included two major changes:

  • experimental support for Tuples (that is, fixed length lists of elements of different types, for example (1,"string",false)
  • contributor settings page (including toggles for experimental features and features useful when contributing to Dark)

We also made significant progress on a new HttpClient and Http framework. Internally, we made significant refactors to the client, removed a lot of old cruft related to the old backend, and started add form components and styles to the client.

Finally, we made a sort of video-/podcast-y youtube thing discussing this release and what thinking about for the next month. We might do this every month, I'm not sure. Let us know what you think!
