Show HN: Han – A Korean programming language written in Rust

A few weeks ago I saw a post about someone converting an entire C++ codebase to Rust using AI in under two weeks.

That inspired me — if AI can rewrite a whole language stack that fast, I wanted to try building a programming language from scratch with AI assistance.

I've also been noticing growing global interest in Korean language and culture, and I wondered: what would a programming language look like if every keyword was in Hangul (the Korean writing system)?

Han is the result. It's a statically-typed language written in Rust with a full compiler pipeline (lexer → parser → AST → interpreter + LLVM IR codegen).

It supports arrays, structs with impl blocks, closures, pattern matching, try/catch, file I/O, module imports, a REPL, and a basic LSP server.

This is a side project, not a "you should use this instead of Python" pitch. Feedback on language design, compiler architecture, or the Korean keyword choices is very welcome.

Show HN: Ichinichi – One note per day, E2E encrypted, local-first

Look, every journaling app out there wants you to organize things into folders and tags and templates. I just wanted to write something down every day.

So I built this. One note per day. That's the whole deal.

- Can't edit yesterday. What's done is done. Keeps you from fussing over old entries instead of writing today's.

- Year view with dots showing which days you actually wrote. It's a streak chart. Works better than it should.

- No signup required. Opens right up, stores everything locally in your browser. Optional cloud sync if you want it

- E2E encrypted with AES-GCM, zero-knowledge, the whole nine yards.

Tech-wise: React, TypeScript, Vite, Zustand, IndexedDB. Supabase for optional sync. Deployed on Cloudflare. PWA-capable.

The name means "one day" in Japanese (いちにち).

The read-only past turned out to be the thing that actually made me stick with it. Can't waste time perfecting yesterday if yesterday won't let you in.

Show HN: GitAgent – An open standard that turns any Git repo into an AI agent

We built GitAgent because we kept seeing the same problem: every agent framework defines agents differently, and switching frameworks means rewriting everything.

GitAgent is a spec that defines an AI agent as files in a git repo.

Three core files — agent.yaml (config), SOUL.md (personality/instructions), and SKILL.md (capabilities) — and you get a portable agent definition that exports to Claude Code, OpenAI Agents SDK, CrewAI, Google ADK, LangChain, and others.

What you get for free by being git-native:

1. Version control for agent behavior (roll back a bad prompt like you'd revert a bad commit) 2. Branching for environment promotion (dev → staging → main) 3. Human-in-the-loop via PRs (agent learns a skill → opens a branch → human reviews before merge) 4. Audit trail via git blame and git diff 5. Agent forking and remixing (fork a public agent, customize it, PR improvements back) 6. CI/CD with GitAgent validate in GitHub Actions

The CLI lets you run any agent repo directly:

npx @open-gitagent/gitagent run -r https://github.com/user/agent -a claude

The compliance layer is optional, but there if you need it — risk tiers, regulatory mappings (FINRA, SEC, SR 11-7), and audit reports via GitAgent audit.

Spec is at https://gitagent.sh, code is on GitHub.

Would love feedback on the schema design and what adapters people would want next.
