I've written on this matter before[1]. Code being appreciated as an artform would, to my mind, benefit greatly both the worlds of fine art and programming. [1]: https://istigkeit.xyz/static/writing/essays&#x2F

Personal choice, is what I'd say. You can get a lot of mileage out of implementing a dynamic language with NaN boxing[1]. It really depends on the kind of language you're trying to build an interpreter for, and what purpose it cou

Depends on how beefy that laptop is... I've been doing some local LLM stuff at work recently, and even with the amazing advances in quantization lately, doing that kind of stuff on a ThinkPad is feasible , but still strongly inferior

I fully support the idea that writing your own SSG can be not only a great learning experience, but also a chance to make your SSG do exactly what you want it to (and nothing more). I've written a ton of little SSGs over the years, and

While reading this, I was immediately reminded of the reduce operator, glad to see my intuition wasn't far off. The nifty thing about this operator in the array-langs compared to the usual fold function is that they usually define iden

I also quite liked that idea. It would probably be a nightmare to actually use, but it's definitely a creative solution to dealing with infix operator precedence. The only implemented language I know of with this feature is the obscure

If you're talking about the curly braces after the backtick in the syntax diagram for operators, I think that's just a way to escape those special characters so you can use them in operator names. It would be the same as escaping

As a concatenative language lover/designer I just thought I'd put it out there how much of an inspiration Om has been to me, I absolutely adore your language! Om is one of the most beautiful programming languages I've ever se

If the WTFPL is a bit too blue for you, you might prefer the Unlicense[0], it's what I tend to reach for when licensing projects these days. Compared to the WTFPL it's a bit more explicit about usage rights (but less explicit wo

I also came here to mention this video. Watching the solution emerge line-by-line is a profound experience, and highly revelatory towards the kind of iterative problem-solving workflow possible in the Iversonian languages. In the same vein,

> It feels like there's an unexplored dimension of abstraction here. Something where generics, interfaces and higher order functions are too static and low level primitives. Something where it's really difficult to pinpoint wh

This looks really lovely, I look forward to following the maturation of Ante in the future. I've often thought that the niche of a general purpose low-level FP language was a promising space. The only other langs that fit in there are

Just as having an in depth understanding of mathematics, physics, or engineering helps us to make more informed decisions, so too do the humanities. Fields of study such as philosophy, sociology, or aesthetics do not attempt to establish, a
