Related to this is the Atari Falcon port of Minecraft using a sparse voxel octree, might work for the GBA seeing as the Quake ports are similar performance-wise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHsgdZFk22M

There are many automatic memory management systems ranging from the simple clearup of immutable systems ( https://justine.lol/sectorlisp2/ ), to region allocation, to refcounting with cycle collection, and the full-fat t

OOI how does the org-mode dev work? Are you tangling and then compiling in a hot-reload loop?

It looks like you've looked over a number of languages, but I don't see anything about Forth, Forsp, Ante, Steps, Austral, Wat or Vale? I'd suggest they all have useful components to steal from :) https://github.co

You replied to my comment about Lebanon. You could have replied to the OP with those links but chose not to, hence this discussion is about my comment. My comment is on the IDF lying about tunnels under hospitals in Lebanon, which is valid

Those are not in Lebanon? Whataboutism isn't an answer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c9818n8v7d8o Is just one of the western media sources about Lebanon.

After all the lies from the IDF, I'm still surprised anyone takes their word anymore without corroborated supporting evidence. So many of these were debunked even by western media (eg. tunnels under hospitals in Lebanon). Now that Tikt

Either TBH, I imagined the main issue would be ram, even with psram. EQMX is used a lot for IOT and it'd be interesting seeing more heavy loads on the edge.

Gah, misread that as esp32 JIT, which would be eye opening!

Interestingly Wat implements a callstack in a userland VM, to implement it's delimited continuations. Ergonomically it would be good to implement algebraic effects on top, but the basis is there, along with demos of exception handling,

Oof, I forget that most forths are a bit mind bending with the compiler STATE. There are 2/3 alternatives to using compiler state aka IMMEDIATE. https://github.com/dan4thewin/FreeForth2 This uses a two-pass search

The points still stand and remain unaddressed, that are: Conflation of Israelis and Jews and the false claim of antisemitism. The lack of evidence of UNRWA-Hamas association, such that Israel's claims are deemed baseless by multiple co

I was referring to your conflation of Israelis with Jews, and calling dismissal of an Israeli news source antisemitic, which it is not. I'm saying that a biased Israeli news source is less valid than the actions of dozens of countries,

Which are not validated by the UN, Norway etc. https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/04/1148821 If the claims were valid, countries would not have restarted funding to UNRWA. Simple. I note you've not d

Quite simply Israelis and Jews are not the same group, otherwise you would be holding all Jews on the planet responsible for this genocide. Dismissing the source for being Israeli is not antisemitic. There are many examples of Israeli sourc

I understand that the word famine has a specific meaning in this context, but I fear that the cause of this famine will again be swept under the rug, that is the deliberate starvation of civilians by Israel, as opposed to say drought. This

For the most part I'd agree, but the Iraq war had a million people (1/60th of the country) who made the effort to protest in London ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2765041.stm ), and similarly every m
