Victor Taelin, the developer behind HVM and the BEND language, announced his project is officially raising: he has closed external PRs and is flying to the US to find VCs who share his vision.
He admits the raise will be extremely hard and asked the community for luck. Commenters admire his technical genius but worry his pessimistic, self-fulfilling mindset could hurt the fundraising.
