- - Grain aims to modernize innovative features from functional and academic programming languages and bring them to the masses. Many languages have had wonderful ideas, but they have ultimately been dismissed as esoteric or too difficult to learn and, consequently, have struggled to rally a large community around them. Grain hopes to bring new life to these ideas and present them in an accessible form that’s easy to use and understand. -

+ The high-level programming language for WebAssembly
+
+
+ 🌾 = Noteworthy contributors to the project. +
++ Meet Grain's co-creator, Oscar. In 2017, Oscar, excited about WebAssembly's + possibilities, co-created Grain, an easy-to-use, flexible but functional + language that made adoption of WebAssembly simple for the world's + developers. +
+ ++ Known for his problem solving and optimism, Oscar is a Principal Engineer + at F5 NGINX. +
+ ++ Oscar specializes in compilers, language design, OCaml, and functional + programming. When he's not working, find him on Discord or mulling over the + next big challenge. +
+ ++ Who he admires: Guido van Rossum, creator of Python, a language that + developers adore, with a welcoming community. +
++ Philip is Grain's co-creator. Resourceful and analytical, he works to + implement features which impact the end-user experience to enhance Grain's + ease of use, familiarity, and accessibility. +
+ ++ Philip is the Senior Research Engineer at Basis Technology, where he + investigates practical applications of deep learning technologies for use + in text analytics. +
+ ++ Philip is an avid runner, and especially enjoys his route along the local + river. Most afternoons, you can find Philip in his favorite neighborhood + café, sipping a coffee and working away. +
+ ++ Drink of choice: double espresso, Ethiopian single-origin. +
++ Blaine is a freelance open source developer and founder of Lead Gumshoe, an + open source consulting company. Blaine specializes in helping organizations + understand and use open source software. +
+ ++ Pragmatic with a strong work ethic, Blaine brings developer experience, + tooling, language design and grant writing experience to Grain. He was + responsible for providing a single installable binary for users to get + up-and-running quickly. He also streamlined the release process so + everything is released with 1-click. He also does the arduous work of + making Grain work on Windows. +
+ ++ When Blaine's not working, he likes to build Legos and play trading card + games. He was even the final world champion for the no-longer-produced + MetaX trading card game. +
++ Supportive and bold, Marcus is a champion for building teams who develop + self-sufficiently. His goal for Grain is simple: a language with easy step + up, easy development, and a full set of tooling essential for today's + developers. +
+ ++ Marcus was responsible for building Grain's language server that provides + code analysis for code editors. +
+ ++ Currently, Marcus works as the Technical Director at Nittygritty, where he + leads both the technical services part of the company and a software + development team. +
+ ++ On any given Friday night, you can find Marcus drinking a craft beer and + surfing the web. He hasn't found the end yet. +
+ ++ His biggest ask: That you stand to the right on the London Underground + escalators. Seriously. +
++ Driven by a passion for programming languages and WebAssembly, Jake + brings a fresh and dynamic perspective to the Grain core team. His + contributions focus on enhancing the standard library, Jake has played + a key role in building the JSON and Number libraries, refining + documentation, and supporting language server development. On occasion, + he also contributes to the compiler, further expanding his expertise. +
+ ++ Currently studying type checking and compiler development, Jake blends + his curiosity for programming languages with hands-on contributions to + Grain. Outside of tech, he enjoys exploring the outdoors and engineering. +
+ ++ Jake is constantly exploring ways to push the boundaries of what's + possible with programming languages and is always eager to learn new + things and contribute to the advancement of technology. +
++ Alex understands how important having a great programming language is for + building software and is motivated by the goal of making Grain an + exceptional language that is easy and enjoyable to build with. +
+ ++ Alex is currently a software engineer at SpaceX and builds software for + Starlink kit order fulfillment and other logistics verticals. +
+ ++ Outside of tech, Alex enjoys gaming, building mechanical keyboards, and + heavy metal music. +
++ Designed to be a practical functional language, Grain makes + WebAssembly simple for the world's developers solving everyday + problems. +
++ Grain is an easy-to-use, high-level programming language specifically + created for WebAssembly. Designed to be a practical functional language, + Grain makes WebAssembly simple for the world's developers solving + everyday problems. +
