These events are a good chance to catch-up with friends and colleagues, and to learn about new and emerging technologies as well as classic systems and approaches.
This month: Ben Scherrey, Founder & CTO at BiggestLab goes deep into the tech by demonstrating his new programming language that he's been working on as a side project since 2018 - ActorForth: The Language That Compiles Itself
ActorForth is a self-hosted, strongly-typed, stack-based language on the Erlang BEAM VM where actors are primitives and type-driven dispatch delivers correctness-by-construction - every word declares its exact type transformation, and the system enforces it. Its concatenative design eliminates variable naming, nesting, and boilerplate, lowering cognitive load for both humans and LLMs: programs convey full intent in a fraction of the context conventional languages demand. Define just four types and you have your own DSL compiler. ActorForth is built for creating domain-specific languages where smart contracts and critical systems are safe by design.
A big "thank you" to our sponsor, biggestlab.io for sponsoring Pizza Mania pizzas (best in BKK) so we can enjoy the gathering event more!
We look forward to seeing you there!
