About

Darklang is a programming language and platform designed around one simple idea: developers should be able to "just code" without the layers of accidental complexity that make modern software development harder than it needs to be. It's a holistic developer tool composed of interconnected parts: a programming language, language server, runtimes (CLI and Cloud), and an integrated package manager and deployment system. Darklang Inc, steward of the project since 2025, open-sourced the platform under Apache License 2.0 and builds a sustainable business around hosting and support.

Summary

Dark is a Developer Tools company based in San Francisco, United States, founded in 2017. It has raised $3.5M in total across 2 rounds, most recently a Seed round in Sep 2017. Investors include Y Combinator.
