Lamdu is a next-generation live programming environment combining a projectional/structure editor with its own programming language, offering syntax-error-free editing, automatic formatting, rich static typing with inference, and live evaluation annotations. It is a technology preview written in Haskell and not yet recommended for production use.
Use cases
- try a structure editor instead of text-based coding
- experiment with live programming environments
- write code without syntax errors using a projectional editor
- explore a statically typed functional language with instant evaluation feedback
- code in a language where identifiers are a display preference (internationalization)
- research alternatives to text-file-based programming languages
When to choose
- you want to explore or contribute to experimental live programming and structure editing research
- you want syntax-error-free editing with continuous evaluation of subexpressions
- you need a programming environment with built-in internationalization of code display
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready language or IDE for real projects
- you rely on text-based workflows like version control diffs, grep, or standard tooling
- you need a mature ecosystem with libraries and community support
