Show HN: Yggdrasil 1.0 – Native executables for Shen
Yggdrasil allows for the generation of type secure stand-alone native language programs from Shen source programs. We are pleased to announce the release of Yggdrasil 1.0 which has a plug-in configured for Common Lisp. Yggdrasil requires Shen 34.6 which is now available from https://shenlanguage.org/download.html https://shenlanguage.org/download.html. Questions to https://groups.google.com/g/qilang https://groups.google.com/g/qilang.
More details on Yggdrasil can be found at https://shenlanguage.org/yggdrasil.html https://shenlanguage.org/yggdrasil.html.
- dredmorbius 3y agoYou might want to reconsider your name: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil_Linux/GNU/X https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil_Linux/GNU/X>
- geoah 3y agoAlso https://yggdrasil-network.github.io https://yggdrasil-network.github.io — but tbf both the linux distro, as well as the overlay network are niches. Pretty sure there are much more well known projects with the same name.
- dredmorbius 3y agoWhat surprised me was that Yggdrasil Linux is apparently still alive, though there's been little Github activity and none since April 2022: <https://github.com/Yggdrasil-LGX/Yggdrasil-LGX/graphs/code-frequency https://github.com/Yggdrasil-LGX/Yggdrasil-LGX/graphs/code-f...> Still, the name is fairly likely to cause confusion.
- unstatusthequo 3y agoAlso it kind of sounds like a birth control drug to me. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, insurrection, and trouble pronouncing things.
- dredmorbius 3y agoVaguely, yes, though the origin is more aboreal and mythological, likely accounting for its popularity as a product/project name: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil>
- cylinder714 3y agodang, could you perhaps insert "[Shen]" in the title?

- cylinder714 3y agoThanks, I emailed him.
- dang 3y agoI've taken a crack at coherently putting Shen up there but if someone has a better idea, let me know.
