Hi Faré,
just saw your posting. I'm curious what your are abot to do.
For a little backgroud of mine see askemos.org . (Let's hope it works. We had to move to a new location and for some reason I haven't had a chance to debug till now, it suddenly stops running every now and then. So if it does not give you an answer, come back later and give me a hint.)
Best

Dear Gambiteers,
I am looking for a partner in crime to help me grow a compiler for a DSL for blockchain DApps. A MVP for that language was written in Haskell (see https://alacrity-lang.org/ ), but I am now re-writing it in Gerbil Scheme (a cousin of the Racket module system running on top of Gambit Scheme).
In the short term, I am looking for a mentor, peer or mentee, who'd work closely with me (at least part of the time pair programming). If possible you'd accept to be paid in part or in total in shares, at least until we raise more money, but everything is negotiable. In the long run, assuming I indeed manage to get more funding, I would recruit several employees and/or contractors to work on many aspects of it.
The new compiler is being written in Scheme with a lot of macros. But the language itself has a JavaScript-like syntax and ML-like types, in addition to other cool features such as a notion of multiple participants who do not fully trust each other, and extraction of a logical model with epistemic, temporal and economic aspects. So if you can't stand types and formal logic, this is probably not for you, unless your love of implementing compilers is much greater than your dislike of types and logic.
