Isn't the entire point of an optimizer to convert "bad code" into "good code"? Your proposed solution is to have the user manually implement a hash table, but if you have a good optimizer, users can focus on writing

Interesting idea, but this implementation has UB: typedef void* var; struct Header { var type; }; // ... #define alloc_stack(T) header_init( \ (char[sizeof(struct Header) + sizeof(struct T)]){0

It's not an ad-hoc turing complete language, it is just a programming language. Makefiles are just programs. There are some strange implicits, but that isn't unique to the Make programming language.

I work on a library for doing Python bytecode transformations like this, but with a more abstract API. Here is a similar transformation with this library, which works with Python 3: https://github.com/llllllllll/codetra

So, like some sort of shared library that my programs dynamically communicate with? How is this functionally different from a shared object?

You need to know how the character is written regardless because the stroke order is part of the character. There are some basic rules like working left to right and top to bottom. Also, each component has the same order when written out.

Great write up. I am a maintainer of a project you opened a PR on, but the diff is large and seems to include unrelated changes. Maybe you based of a fork and the opened the PR to upstream? If the bot had worked as intended I would have tho

I'm also in Cambridge, for a long time they were replacing some pipes under my street. This would cause weird, seemingly ambient sounds.

With enough wrapping, the templates can be okay to write. For example https://github.com/llllllllll/wired looks like a shitty lisp.

Many games (by common definition) are strictly execution based. For example, most rhythm games (e.g. Osu!, Beatmania, DDR, Guitar Hero, etc) do not have any element of randomness or strategic requirements, yet some people find them very fun

I can see the art being preserved as a critical feature for adventure games, but with StarCraft remastered it seems everyone loves the new art. The most important thing for that game was to keep the gameplay exactly the same while supportin

Interesting article, including the subtitle, "Their case against frugality", may help people understand what the article will be about. The article title alone is quite vague.

More syntax makes a language harder to read. The point isn't that making this special syntax would be harder, because it's not that hard. The point is that you don't need new syntax. In this case, the new syntax saves a few

Why is (x=1, y=2) more practical than nt(x=1, y=2)? Also, we have a very efficient implementation for tuples. collections.namedtuple is quite fast and the article shows cnamedtuple (which I am the author of) which is a C implementation that
