   Three clicks, no info what effect 4.0 is, except that it's AI-ready, safe, good, and re-built from the ground up. No idea what it actually is.

      I had the same thought, until I realized the posted link is for their 4.0 release rather than their homepage.

      Their main page makes the product pretty clear.

         Still can’t tell if it’s a language, library or framework

            Have you tried reading the big bold text at the top of the page?

            &gt; Reliable TypeScript for the AI era

            It is a library.

               I&#x27;m with the sibling. A library for what? UI, backend, graphing, visual effects? What does this replace?

                  &quot;typed error handling, structured concurrency, resource safety, and observability, all from one composable core&quot;

                     Yes, I read that and left scratching my head. Does it also encabulate?

                     Really reminded me of this classic pitch (and yes I know it&#x27;s not the original turbo encabulator).

                     &gt; More over, whenever fluorescent score motion is required it may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation Dingle arm to reduce sinusoidal depleneration. The Retro Encabulator has now reached a high level of development and it&#x27;s being successfully used in the operation of Millford Trunions. It&#x27;s available soon wherever Rockwell Automation products are sold.

                        Not understanding something is different from it having no meaning.

                        1. oliwarner · 1791034793 · focus · HN ↗

                           Absolutely, but there&#x27;s so little context offered to derive actual meaning. If you already know, it&#x27;s probably a lot easier.

                           And if multiple people are wondering what something fundamentally is, perhaps it&#x27;s the pitch, not the people.
