As for the relationship between Lamdu and Haskell: do you plan to build some kind of interoparability? Like using Haskell libraries in Lamdu, or transpiling Lamdu to Haskell, "export as Haskell"? What do you think of the latter idea, i.e. of Lamdu as a tool to develop Haskell?
A new Lamdu release!

Along with a new video:

Any feedback welcome :-)
and this might be a stupid question. How can I have an
else if?
If you write an "if" and at the "else" clause you write another "if", it just becomes "else if" or in shorthand "elif".

I'd love for a tutorial on lists. writing a recursive fibonacci sequence was very easy, but iteratively proved to be quite a challenge due to lack of help information
Above is my favorite way of writing fibonacci, using combinators like "iterate" and "map".
As for lists tutorial, you can have a look at how "iterate" itself constructs list or how "map" via "foldLazy" inspects them.
List is a nominal data type, and if you built a recent Lamdu from source, hitting "enter" on its constructor "List" or unwrap ".List" would open the pane for its type declaration to show how it's defined (note that actually editing it in the pane is not yet implemented but coming soon)
import or module system? Seeing that lamdu has abandoned traditional text files, perhaps there's something more optimal than the traditional file hierarchy and navigation via paths

how can I process a string character by character, or an array element by element? I'm well aware if it was a list, I could
fold

how did he "hide" the sub definitions? I think that's a fantastic way to see only the "relevant" information if you're looking at code! right now when I'm playing with lamdu, the list of sub definitions keeps growing and then I'm left with a wall of text

Hey booger, first of all, thanks for all the feedback! :-)
Code exchange and collaboration in Lamdu are currently very primitive as they are part of structural revision control, which we have not yet seriously tackled.
But it is possible -- you can export a JSON file from any definition (or the entire world) as pasted in the image above
how much money is required to put both you and Eyal working on this full time?
In the near future we both have other obligations, for Eyal at Weka.IO and for myself at Sound Radix.
I personally do intend to spend more time working on Lamdu in the next year, regardless of funding. Hopefully I'll succeed devoting most of my time on Lamdu this year :)
But given generous donations we could try to expand the team with more developers who are working full time.
