Created page with "{{FormatInfo |formattype=Languages |subcat=Programming Languages |released=2013 }} '''Hoon''' is the "higher-level" programming language that is part of the Urbit project,..."

'''[[Hoon]]''' is the "higher-level" programming language that is part of the Urbit project, built on the lower-level [[Nock]]. The whole project seems to be attempting to define a totally new computing infrastructure built on a virtual machine, with new languages, protocols, and mysterious terminology. Trying to figure out just what the point of the whole thing is can be difficult.

Hoon appears to have a syntax that uses lots of parentheses (like [[LISP]]), but also uses square brackets for other things.

+'''[[Hoon]]''' is the "higher-level" ("strict, higher-order typed pure-functional") programming language that is part of the Urbit project, built on the lower-level [[Nock]]. The whole project seems to be attempting to define a totally new computing infrastructure built on a virtual machine, with new languages, protocols, and mysterious terminology. Trying to figure out just what the point of the whole thing is can be difficult... and that's while staying totally away from the personal politics of its creator, which we won't try to touch with a ten foot (3.048 meter) pole.
