Extremely impressive, props!
Some parts of its novely actually give me sort of a TempleOS feel, I suppose because it feels/looks so "different". I really loved watching the Senseye video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=294&v=WBsv9IJpkDw https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=294&v=WBsv9IJpkD...), though it's something that I suppose could be made in other environments as well. The translators reminded me of edlib by Neil Brown: http://blog.neil.brown.name/2015/07/edlib-because-one-more-editor-is-never-enough/ http://blog.neil.brown.name/2015/07/edlib-because-one-more-e... (http://blog.neil.brown.name/ http://blog.neil.brown.name/), there's a cool video of edlib somewhere as well. Although the concept of separate views on the same underlying data is not novel, it's a shame such things aren't widely available (or in use) that I know of.
Despite being a fan of statically typed languages, of all scripting languages I like Lua the best. The language is lean but powerful and LuaJIT is a coders' dream. I don't understand whether one would be forced to create all "apps" (appls?) in Lua.
- crazyloglad 10y agoThanks! Arcan is definitely written to be used without the Lua parts as well, and on the project timeline the final pieces of the puzzle is libifying the engine. The reason why it is not like that right now is just that the internal engine interfaces are not in a stage where I would 'commit' (and document and test) an interface that others might end up relying on. I also much prefer statically typed languages, I consider Lua somewhat "the best among the worst". One nice thing with its VM integration API is that it lends itself to be swapped for another VM without too much work rediscovering a type model. If I would have the luxury of more time, binding the engine to Haskell would be high on the list.
- luch 10y agoSenseye really looks like "Cantor.Dust" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bM3Gut1hIk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bM3Gut1hIk). I wonder if c.d. has been an inspiration for it.
