That's what I'm working on, basically love2d but SDL3 and TS/JS (via QuickJS). And no box2d builtin, but easily importable via CDN.

Ah thanks Piotr, also Cute looks very useful, great job.

Cute looks like a modern version of SDL or maybge SFML[1]. Anyone have any experience with it? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19677201

Last night I tried for maybe about 6 hours so many combinations of efforts to compile a C++, SDL3 and Lua program on Windows, with different IDEs, build systems, compilers, package managers etc. Finally I'm just giving up and using VS

Doesn't C have slices but they're just kind of manual and non ergonomic and memory unsafe?

This is far too clever for me to even begin to understand. How do you get the hello world working? I tried pasting ,--('\< into the code and if it walks like a lamb and quacks like a duck into the stdin field.

Yeah but Janet is a Lisp. And Lisps are like black coffee.

What do you mean, George? > It seems to have a pretty high ratio of "I use X because it's the only one that has Y" type features, all in one place.

Pico 8 was very new and inspirational in a way none of us could have predicted. It inspired countless clones, and many games like Animal Well. It renewed the joy and wonder of programming that so many of us grew up with in the 80s and 90s,

Seems that the ones with a genuine ability to innovate are always the least motivated to either start their project, follow through with it, or share it when finished, beyond a doctoral thesis that gets them a PhD they never really end up u

According to this benchmark of Lua vs QuickJS[1] the Dino language[2] is supposedly much faster than Lua. It also seems to check most of my boxes? [1] https://sabotage-linux.neocities.org/blog/9/ [2] https:/

xkcd 927 is shown in the first link. It seems xkcd is now as official a part of the everlasting software community as markdown is.

What I mean is, if I'm going to learn complexity, I might as well go all-in on one unified language.

Others can ask AI to write it, but I don't have to use it. I can still write my own and use what others have written by hand.

Reminds me that I made a rainbow unicorn that jumped across your screen as a cmdline utility to be run after all tests passed. Coworkers got a good laugh if nothing else. Fun times.

When I write code, I always start with the platform, which drives and limits the language choices. I don't say I want to write in C++, I say I want to write for web, or for iOS, or Windows, or whatever. If I'm writing for web, I&#

Defs is also how the arrows work in this WebGL2 diagram[2], and in fact, I don't think they're possible without defs, because of `marker-end` which seems to require a marker present in defs. [2] https://webgl2fundamen

It also means it's easy to create reference cycles that never get deallocated. Especially in callback anonymous functions.
