I don't have a good name for it, but I used the same pattern 20ish years ago for game engine stuff. Java folks might have a name. It's similar to the Foo().bar().baz() constructor pattern.

It's an impressive pile of components on one chip, but the lack of pricing and dev board info is annoying. Anyone know if Efinix FPGAs have a decent tool chain?

Having spent a good chunk of my career optimizing C++ game engines - don't do this. If virtual vs non-virtual function calls are causing you performance problems, you're calling way too many functions per frame. Batch the objects

Not if Hancho beats you to it. ;) https://github.com/aappleby/Hancho In all seriousness, I think both our projects are aiming in the right direction, mine is just more focused on minimalism at the cost of having extra-

I recently wrote Hancho ( https://github.com/aappleby/Hancho ) that is designed to be fully dynamic; I thiiiink it would fit most of the desired criteria here (aside from cloud caching) but I'm not positive. I'

I've submitted some of them individually in the past. I thought that a summary of all my 2023 projects would be interesting in itself.

I've used this for decades. The sweet spot for ui components seems to be moving 90% of the way to the target every 80 milliseconds.

For loops are one of those things that just don't really exist in hardware. The way I like to think of hardware is as a machine that takes a giant blob of state, applies a pure function to it, and when the clock goes from low to high i

Author here. I hadn't heard of Doit, but it does look similar to Hancho. Hancho pushes much harder on the minimalism side, however. I think I may steal Doit's "actions can be arrays of commands" feature, as that would be

Author here. I do most of my development in WSL but do have a few projects that I want to get working again with Windows/MSVC - I will be using Hancho for those builds and expect it to work fine cross-platform though I haven't tac

Hi, author here. I'm slightly confused by your bullet points - are you asking if Hancho supports these patterns? - "Execution" of a rule can add new task nodes to the DAG (via Rules with command=<async Pythonfunction> -

Please ping me back with your experience using it for ESP32 stuff. I've already used Hancho to build FPGA bitstreams with the Icestorm tools and it was delightful, but as the author I'm not a neutral observer. :)

True, if you need sandboxing you've already committed yourself to a build system 10x larger than Hancho. If you don't need sandboxing, you can ditch a _ton_ of complexity.

Bazel's "macros" are just Python functions in Hancho. Manipulating the object files directly to link them into a binary can be wrapped up in a 2 line Python function if you want to abstract over how the link rule works. Both

It's not "better" than a Makefile, just different. I find it easier to understand and maintain. I've used Makefiles for decades and I still find myself looking up basic Make syntax.

Tup is interesting, but it requires keeping track of dependencies in a SQL (sqlite?) database - already more complex than Hancho it seems.

The article is somewhat silly, but there's a kernel of good advice here - To estimate the "complexity" of a codebase: 1. Remove all comments 2. Replace all spans of whitespace with a single space 3. Concatenate all source tog
