min creator here :) min does not have a C FLI essentially because it has a "Nim FLI". It is really easy to add new symbols to the language using a Nim API (which is also used internally to define all symbols of the language). See

Wow! Your web site changed a bit since last time I saw it, congratulations Yanis! It's great to see a programming language implemented in Nim to look so polished!

Nice project! It looks pretty similar to my own LiteStore: https://h3rald.com/litestore/ The feature set is pretty similar, but I focused mainly on the free form/nosql-ish aspect of it, and although I added suppor

They are features of the documentation system itself, here's a simple example of macros: https://h3rald.com/hastyscribe/HastyScribe_UserGuide.htm#Mac... Basically it's like defining simple functions with para

Uhm... expensive?! ;) The municipality of Triora, a beautiful historical town now nearly abandoned, very close to the Ligurian coast in Italy, is selling houses as low as 1 (one!) euro, in an attempt to re-populate the area and get someone

Looks very similar to something I made a while ago[1]. SQLite is an awesome piece of software, and with JSON and Fulltext search baked in is ideal for these kind of things. Glad to see that people are finally realizing it! [1]: https:&#x2F

Interesting project! I recently created something similar[1] because I wanted a simple, easy to use, bloat-free micro framework to create single page applications. I also wanted it to be somewhat "battery-included" and provide thi

For my personal projects I find particularly satisfying using my own stack: - https://h3rald.com/litestore if I need a RESTful searchable data store and some relatively simple middleware logic. - https://h3.js.

Joy was the inspiration for min :) min is actually mainly an interpreted language, BUT it can actually as of recently be transpiled to Nim (which in turns generates C code which can be compiled), so you can actually create executable files

I have been using Mithril.js for a while and never ran into problems, but admittedly I only used it for small, personal project. What I liked about Mithril was its simplicity: a clean API with a handful of methods but batteries-included at

These days I keep tinkering with min ( https://min-lang.org ). It is a small but fairly batteries-included concatenative programming language I've been working on for years. Not many people use it of course, and it's not

That's the spirit! It doesn't really matter whether this will become the next (p)React, as ling as you learnt something from building it and you are enjoying using it. And yes, I did create something like this but I wanted to in

Having created a small concatenative language myself[1], no, the pure concatenative style with no variables and stack combinators is just too much for a normally-wired brain. BUT! I tried to cheat a little bit to make things more readable

I agree 100%, but more than anything for me was control : I had been using nanoc ( https://nanoc.ws ) for years and don't get me wrong, that's an excellent piece of software... but then I "left it" for a few

Well yes it started off for prototyping and then I kept adding more features like JavaScript middleware and token validation... I have used it as a backend for quite a few private projects of mine. Regarding indexing json... here's how

Yep, SQLite is awesome. I did actually build exactly that: a document database powered by SQLITE [1], and it works well, especially considering that SQLite has built-in support for full text search and indexes for JSON content. [1]: https:

The h3 function is the default export, you can give it whatever name you want when you import it.

I beg to (partially) disagree... (shameless plug ahead!) https://h3rald.com/hastyscribe/HastyScribe_UserGuide.htm OK, you are right that ordinary markdown is insufficient because a lot of functionalities are missing

Great news! I have been using Nim almost exclusively for my open source projects for years now, since when it was called Nimrod... It is simply amazing to see how it evolved and improved over time. I love the fact that it runs seamlessly on

While I understand the point that the article is trying to make, i.e. that no "standard" markdown offers sufficient features to write documentation, I don't think that it matters too much as long as the final result is good.
