DRYlib

The polyglot programmer's standard library.

Caveats

This is a semi-public, pre-alpha, work-in-progress project.

Here be dragons.

Caveat utilitor: assume nothing works, and you may be pleasantly surprised; and when it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

Rationale

• Reduces the cognitive load of frequently switching between different programming languages.
• Enables network effects to cross different languages.
• Facilitates code generation for multiple target languages.
