From the site:
We have entered a world in which we need to do more with less. If you, like us, have frowned at the difficulty and inefficiency of creating software, and wondered if there is a better way, Meta is for you. It is a descendant of the acclaimed REBOL and Logo computer languages. Logo was designed in academia to teach programming in a simple yet powerful way. It is widely used in education and influenced many newer systems and languages. REBOL extended this concept to professional programming. It was invented by Carl Sassenrath, the chief software designer of the famous Amiga computer, the first consumer multimedia system. Meta takes the next step by combining this design with the virtues of the C programming language, which has been the standard for software interoperability and performance for half a century.
- Seems to be primarily inspired by REBOL but designed to be faster [1].
- Can compile to various 8-bit Atari machines and αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε (which means it can run on almost anything) [2].
- Has an official Bluesky account, which AFAIK is the main social media presence.

Awful naming. Forgetting the fortune 500 company you’re already thinking of, there’s already a Meta Lang, abbreviated to ML.
Besides that, does it have any ‘meta’ features? E.g. Homoiconicity?
Omg im gonna fuking rage if i see any more of these horrible names. Ever had to search for something, yeah?
Its impossible to find anything about a topic if your keyword is something like meta, signal, element, matrix, session, rust.
Fukin rage somewhere else. What is it with anger and programming? What in the flying hell is up with most of you keyboard junkies?
Way to admit that you have never done anything productive with a computer in your life.
This is a post about programming in a community about programming. Anybody that ever did any programming, knows how important searchability is.
That makes no sense. Wth is up with all y’alls biased minds? LOL I admit I never done anything productive in my life. Are you feeling better that I agree with your so keen wise insight on my life’s work, history and activities? Interesting skill you have. You are wasting it replying to me. You could be making $$$ helping companies with that mighty skill of keen life reading ability. Very impressive!
PS: If programmers can’t find shit and complain then unlabel yourself as one. I never claimed to be one anyways smartalec.

This comment really doesn’t make sense.
They explained the issue. Using a generic name makes it difficult to get good search results.
It’s a pain in the ass that almost all developers will have faced.
It’s extremely ironic how this comment displays the most anger in the entire post
Your insight is so flawed lol 🧌
Eventually it will have it.
