Aaron Kent Call 9/15/17

• Scala people

• really inspired by Paul's book

• he and his brother were inspired by gang of four, out of tarpit, functional programming, accidental complexity, etc

• they hadn't seen Prune but I told them about it (very similar, such as ? node)

• quit their jobs three years ago to work on this full time

• told about https://www.webscript.io/

• he's referencing paul quotes from our most recent podcast! spotify for coding, hashing functions

• spent a year to get a first prototype, then spent another year iterating with people on design

• what are you optimizing for right now?

  • assuming that there's a time where it's free
  • raise funds now, and then have a year of runway to get to revenue

• not open source now, but want to be as much as possible

  • open to what makes sense here

• graph.cool
