Desk
The application platform for your cyberpunk desk.
Why Desk?
Desk apps (applications built on Desk) are inherently:
- 🎼 Data-oriented
- 🔒 Statically-typed (data and UI)
- 🤖 Programmable (extensible by code)
- 🧲 Interoperable with other Desk apps
- 📱 Running on everywhere (web, desktop, mobile)
How does it work?
Desk is powered by Desk Programming Language and Desk Kernel.
Desk Programming Language
Desk programming language (Desk-lang) is a programming language which has:
- Minimalistic syntax and semantics
- Type system with inference
- Algebraic effects
- Content-addressible by type and UUID
- Embeddable interpreter
- 🚧 Compiler for performant binary
Any data and programs on Desk apps are finally evaluated as snippets of Desk-lang.
Desk Kernel
Desk kernel is a platform-agnostic environment for writing and running Desk-lang. Functionalities and UIs of Desk apps are built by using syscalls of the kernel. It's using Bevy Engine and egui.
Desk kernel provides these features:
- 🚧 File system for Desk-lang
- 🚧 Type-driven UI components
- 🚧 Incremental computation engine
- 🚧 Realtime collaboration support
- 🚧 Package management system
- 🚧 Version control system
- 🚧 Permission management system
- 🚧 3D/2D rendering with meshes
Philosophy
- 🎮 Intuitive like games
- 🥼 Pragmatic like professional tools
- 🗺️️ Versatile like spreadsheet
- 💗 Accessible to everyone
- 🛹 Minimalistic design
Goal
We want to make top boards of people's desks into touch panel displays that run Desk.
Is it any good?
Yes.
