Darklang is an integrated functional programming language, editor, and cloud infrastructure for building backends, APIs, and CLIs without separate build, deployment, or infrastructure tooling. This repo contains the new 'dark-next' implementation (language, backend, and infra), which is not yet production-ready, while Darklang-Classic is in maintenance mode.
Use cases
- build a REST API backend without infrastructure setup
- create scheduled jobs and background workers quickly
- write CLI scripts in a functional language
- prototype CRUD apps with built-in datastore
- receive and inspect webhooks live while coding
- deploy an endpoint to the cloud in seconds
When to choose
- you want an all-in-one language, editor, and hosting experience with zero config
- you're building small backends, internal tools, bots, or scripts
- you want to contribute to an experimental functional language project
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, stable platform today (dark-next is not ready)
- you need fine-grained control over infrastructure, databases, or deployment pipelines
- you rely on mainstream ecosystems, libraries, or tooling like git and CI/CD
