The Onyx Language Foundation

The Onyx language foundation [hereby the Foundation] is a non-profit legal entity.

1. Mission

The Foundation serves the following mission.

To develop the Onyx programming language and its ecosystem [hereby Onyx] for the greater good of the human civilization.

2. Goals

The Foundation defines the following goals [hereby the Goals] in no particular order.

  • An immortality of human consciousness. This can be achieved by (but not limited to) the following means:

    • Learning how to cure fatal biological and psychological diseases such as aging, Alzheimer’s, and cancer to prevent a human mind from death.

    • Developing an ability to move or copy a human consciousness to another storage.

  • A physical human expansion to other cosmic entities for the sake of more energy sources.

  • A continuous expansion of human knowledge about the world and themselves.

3. Principles

The Foundation defines the following principles.

  • Serve the humanity at its whole, thus being cosmopolitan and inclusive.

  • Follow principles of meritocracy.

  • Reduce the harm from actors contradicting with the Mission as much as possible.

4. Statements

To achieve its Goals, the Foundation states the following.

A language that is easier to interpret and express unambiguously (i.e. with a better design) leads to lesser mental, hence time and energy, resources spent to convey the same amount of information.

A faster conveying of information leads to a faster solving of a problem.

Thus, a programming language with better design allows solving problems faster.

A programming language designed with machinery performance in mind opens opportunities for more optimal usage of energy.

A programming language allowing to solve problems faster with better resource utilization attracts businesses solving their problems with programming.

Faster solving of problems by businesses gives them an ability to solve more problems at the same time. This leads to faster development of the human civilization, which is aligned with the Goals.

Lead by the will to support the development of the language and its ecosystem, to make use of the aforementioned Platform the Foundation offers, and to help the Foundation to achieve its Goals; businesses invest resources into the language, its ecosystem, and the Foundation.

Resources invested into the Foundation are distributed per the aforementioned resource distribution list, which helps to serve the Mission and achieve the Goals.
