I made a web framework

Hi everyone! I made an SSR web framework on NPM named Authtics Host (or HostJS)

About

Based on tests, it starts the server in under 1 second. For a user to see the page, it takes 1-4 seconds.

It also has a Developer Panel, which has controls to control the website (e.g., Restart, Shutdown and Pause Users) with DAT (Developer Access Token) authorization for the Developer Panel.

The framework's Developer Panel has console and network tabs, where devs can see: what the page is receiving, sending or what logs it's placing in the console. Better than importing a package and setting it up on mobile.

3 Reasons why I made this

Most frameworks start in 2-5+ seconds
There isn't any console or network tab for mobile
If there's a developer panel in another framework, it might not be mobile-friendly

Package

The NPM package is at: @bananacool467/authtics-host

Code snippet

For creating and starting the server:
Backend script (index.ts):

import { App } from "@bananacool467/authtics-host";

const app = new App();

Bash script to run it:

node --experimental-strip-types index.ts

How I got it to start in under 1 second

What I did was make it do fast stuff, when it starts, it:

Loads modules (node:fs, node:http, jiti)
Then it loads the jiti config file
Then it starts the server with the config

Can someone please help me make an AI model in C++?

I tried to make one multiple times.

I am making a programming language

Hi everyone! I’m currently building a custom programming language called Swiq using C++.

Most modern languages rely entirely on standard garbage collection or strict block scoping. When I designed Swiq, I wanted to give developers built-in keywords to control variable state directly.

What makes Swiq unique?

Swiq tracks both the current state and the instantiation state of your data. Here are a few unique features I've built into the memory management system:

Native Archiving: You can stash a variable away into a hidden memory space and safely pull it back whenever you need it.
Instant Resetting: Swiq remembers the initial value used when a variable was first created, allowing you to instantly reset it to its default state.
Explicit Closures: Functions allow explicit variable closure capturing, much like C++ lambdas.

A Quick Look at the Syntax

Here is a quick look at how clean it is to handle variable states, archiving, and resetting in Swiq:

set var score = 100;

// Modify it
set score = 150;

// Need a backup state? Archive it!
archive score; 

// Score is now safely stashed away. Bring it back natively:
restore score;

// Want to revert to the very first value?
reset score; // score is now back to 100

And for functions with closures:

set var x = 10;
set var y = 70;
set var z = 25;

// Limited access functions
func myFunction () [x, y] {
  log(x);
  log(y);
  // No access to "z"
}

// Full access functions
func myFunction () [&] {
  log(x);
  log(y);
  log(z);
}

Check out the project!

Swiq is an open-source project and is still actively under development. I built the custom interpreter and Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) completely from scratch in C++.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this approach to state management. What features or use cases would you like to see next?
