Dolphin creator Eric Hartford unveils With, a systems language compiling to native code
QuixiAI · x · 2026-09-09
Eric Hartford, creator of open-source models Dolphin and Samantha, is building With, a systems programming language that compiles to native machine code for performance-sensitive software: games, AI infrastructure, embedded systems, web services. The pitch is making native programming feel less hostile, with features like regex match syntax, let ... else early-return binding, and with ... as mut scoped mutation. Open source on GitHub. He also complains his compiler project got blocked by a platform for supposed "cybersecurity" reasons despite only containing a standard SSL crypto library.
