A lovely update on the last year of progress on Decker and lil, beyondloom.com/blog/unionstate

Manu recently interviewed me for his ongoing series about people and their blogs! It’s live and I think pretty fun. I’ve enjoyed the other interviews in this series, and was really honored to be suggested for it by @piper!

stack oriented array language!? stack oriented array language!

uiua.org

And, to boot!? It has pretty solid dev tooling -- you don't need to know the glyphs, the editor can complete them for you, and it supports multimedia output. You can tell it to display the results of a script as numbers, or as an image, or as a sound file!?

After looking around at a bunch of logo interpreters and being displeased with them all for my purposes, I decided to make my own…

Which is me outside with my kids shouting “forward ten!” and then them taking 10 steps. We’ve been doing it for a few days, and have progressed to functions and stored programs in memory.

Normalize it being totally fine to use software that hasn’t received an update in years.

@neauoire you ever seen this? It is a teeny tiny lisp repl for the SCHIP.

internet-janitor.itch.io/bulb

A quirk of it is that it doesn't use a keyboard, just the d-pad. it think we talked about something like this but with BF a few months ago?

I'm gonna hunt down the code for it.

@eli_oat Oh wow, that's pretty neat. I've written a bit of CHIP8 and this is some heavy lifting. I have never seen this, it's very cool :)

Wrote a blog post about array programming, poetry, lightsabers, and then ended with some thoughts on , its aesthetics, and where I locate its goals.

with the absolute weakest of weak sauces I started to hide some of my thoughts about enchantment and programming in this post, @left_adjoint

eli_oat

I am sorry to anyone reading my blog post for deep lightsaber stuff...it is mostly asking if Ewoks ate people with no mention of lightsabers. My bad.

@eli_oat Excellent post, I've also been feeling the same, it's seems like a lot of the discussion around the topic is narrowing down to which computer to buy this season that is "most perma", and less like, "what are your needs, and how does this device serves them"

Maybe I'm just annoyed that people are using the 100r website as a shopping list.

Here's that blog post I promised I'd write! It's about how I set out to write a text editor after rereading Peter Naur's "Programming as Theory Building" and ended up writing a shell script instead.

Shout outs to @llimllib for some assistance figuring out how to traverse a file tree upwards!

Devine Lu Linvega

@eli_oat @llimllib half expected to read "so now I'm writing a structural editor"
