> A port of DSPy to the BEAM: declarative LM programs in Elixir with signatures, optimizers and agents running as OTP processes.

- Magnitude: 6.1 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 94 total · +0 stars today, ≈ 90 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Language models · Language: Elixir · License: MIT · Created: 2026-07-10 · Last push: 2026-09-27
- GitHub: https://github.com/deepfates/imp · Homepage: https://hex.pm/packages/imp · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/deepfates/imp

## Useful for

- Declare a typed model call via a signature instead of writing prompts and parsers
- Run GEPA optimization of a program against labeled examples and a metric
- Start a ReAct agent with tools as a supervised process with call authorization

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 90 expected by the end of the day. The usual pace is 0 per day, so that's 90× as much.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 0 per day.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- Hacker News: “Imp is a full port of DSPy to the BEAM” — 38 points, 4 h ago.
- About 55 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 6
- Issues and pull requests: 235
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 26 per day
- Usual pace: 0 per day

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
