Ether.ray - The Ray Programming Language & Ether

Note

This is still a work in progress. Relevant progress is documented in this repo and here

---

What is this?

This thing is, in essence, a programming language (Ray) and an IDE (Ether), which together act as a theorem prover, version control system, database and rendering engine. Though to me, most importantly, it is here as infrastructure. Infrastructure for the design and implementation of a different category of (programming) interfaces.
