Yep, that's what I meant. Lots of comments, not a lot of time for proofreading!

Hi! Yes! I'm intending on adding an RSS feed at https://wryl.tech/log/feed.rss within the next few days. I have a habit of hand-writing the markup for the site, so it's missing a few features people expect fr

It's still really impressive! Comparisons were thrown around to nushell, which is also a really impressive project. I can see the vision and I hope to follow along! :)

This is really, really cool! Definitely going to share this around, I love tools like this. They bring so much visibility into dark spaces.

Thanks for the feedback regarding this, I've been trying to find a middle-ground between my authoring style (writing raw HTML with low overhead, instead of using a static site generator) and "portable readability". I have a f

Thank you very much! Very much in line with the handmade ethos, and I'm hoping to get involved with more handmade (and handmade-like) things in the future. :)

While I sympathize that the stakes don't appear to match up, I am talking about all software, and also taking into account the fact that these frustrations are numerous. It'd be one thing if it was taken in small pieces, small cra

Problems surrounding computing education do compound these frustrations, and I sympathize. Having worked for larger organizations (whatever FAANG calls itself these days, I can't keep track), as well as academia and independent educati

Well, that certainly wasn't my intention, but in an environment of "I have a silver bullet and it'll cost you $X", I can understand the sentiment. At the same time, I do want to show that I have confidence in my ideas. H

Thank you for the kind words! "I appreciate them" would be an understatement. And I agree entirely. Tracking the history of an abstraction will usually tell you its root, though it gets pretty muddy if that root is deep-seated!

Hi! Author here. I think it's important to address certain aspects of this post that people tend to misunderstand, so I'll just list them here to save myself the effort. * I do not argue against abstractions, but against the unres

What's nice about rewriting as a concept is that bolt-on extensions to make things fast don't have to be awkward. Built-in rules that take priority over user-defined ones, as well as special variables in Devine's implementati

Devine and a few others are actually working that out! We're collaborating in the Concatenative Languages Discord server on how to use, extend and improve the language.

Not particularly, no. Nothing specific. The semantics of the language lend themselves well to an implementation in hardware. I had a sketch in VHDL in the time I spent developing this. This means that the above sample is effectively your &q

Howdy. I'm Wryl, the original author of this language. I sketched it out in late 2018 and played with it in 2019 after seeing some Mill architecture articles floating around. I mostly created it out of spite, thinking "You don&#x2
