Hey Product Hunt!

I’m Aksh, the developer behind Quokka.

Quokka started as a simple question: what would a programming language look like if AI and machine learning were considered first-class use cases from the beginning?

I started experimenting with the idea, and roughly 12 hours later, I had a working language.

Since then, Quokka has grown into a self-hosting, open-source programming language with ML tooling, Python interoperability, QLoRA support, and its own native ML layer, Joey.

It’s still early, and there’s a lot left to build. I’m launching Quokka here because I want to hear from developers, ML engineers, and programming-language enthusiasts who are willing to challenge the idea and tell me what should be better.

If you try it, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think.

Thanks for checking it out.
