I've been working on Knowledge Management systems and techniques for over a decade. I've always felt that they were way too useful to leave as a niche technology. I also felt that the thing that keeps people from using it more is the steepness of the learning curve, and the tooling that goes with it. knowledge graphs are gaining increasing adoption in many different industries, but that adoption could go much faster if the technologies were as easy to work with as any other code.

So, I recently started work on a new programming language called "Fifth" that aims to transparently embed knowledge graphs into .NET in a way that is easy for those who are unfamiliar with the technologies to adopt. Knowledge graphs should be first class citizens in the language. And Fifth will deliver that.

Your support goes towards work on the Fifth Programming language, helping to cover costs related to the development effort, licenses, hosting, as well as publicising the work, and seeking volunteers etc.

Even getting just one sponsor would mean the world to me. It means I am delivering something of value. I want Fifth to be useful. Sponsorship is a tangible indicator of that, and will also help to cover any costs needed to promote it.

Compilers are pretty much the most complex kind of software to write. Right now, Fifth is developed out of hours. Your contribution will help me to focus on Fifth full time, speeding up the delivery of the MVP.

The tool-chain will reach maturity much faster with more significant backing. This level of sponsorship also ensures your requirements and circumstances (as a user of the language) will get more immediate attention.
