Bend 2 is here! It is a new programming language that blocks AI mistakes via *proof checking* - the same technique big AI labs used to solve open math problems, like Navier-Stokes. It is also very fast, and runs on GPUs. Watch the video. Link in the comments.

It starts “Bend 2 is here”. It carries a 4:20 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.
Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 651K views in the directory. The copy runs 50 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.
The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it. It went out on a Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read developer marketing strategy: developers try before they read, so the post has to let them.
X analytics explained is the guide for it: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
