I gave a talk about the various options I considered in the beginning, it's linked up on top of this thread by someone. In short, I didn't really care to have to design a CPU, I just wanted to drive a framebuffer. The PIC was a pr

The idea of building minimalist apps on a stack that is famous for being awfuly bloated, and on a browser of all things, which more often than not finds itself to be the cause of even worst habits, seems like a bit of an oxymoron.

Reading this made me think of how newer homes and furniture burn faster, giving you less time to escape a fire. Research shows that 30 years ago, you had about 17 minutes to escape a house fire. Today it's only 3 or 4 minutes.

Forth, and its derivatives, has been the principal language I program with these past few years, but one that is on my radar lately, and I wish I had more of a use for is Joy, a purely functional forth-like language. In Joy, everything is a

One of the reason I tend to favor Plan 9 is that it's blazing fast compared to DietPi/Raspian-like distros. It does away with most of the rounded corners, alpha, soft-looking fonts - but after a little while, I barely notice they&

Oberon is great! I remember reading the book, it gave me all sorts of ideas for Uxn. I love writing Pascal, Modula+Overon's drawing API is excellent. It's much too massive a system for me, and I can't even begin to imagine ho

I thought so too :) I did a few C64 test applications both in plain 6502 and via cc65(which works very poorly on ARM btw), but that didn't really work out for us. I ran into issues porting VICE to Plan 9, and I had all sorts of issues

It's quite common that people think they know what working on a Pi is like, because on paper, it has all the specs of a very fast machine, but to actually use the thing as a daily driver, is another story altogether. So, of course you

I use Uxn's self-modification powers quite a bit, I use them mostly for routines that runs thousands of times per frames, so I don't have to pull literals from the stack, I just can just write myself a literal in the future and ha

I did use Chibi! I've implemented a few lisps, but I always found their bytecode implementation too convoluted and slow, so I went with a stack machine for this particular project. I might at some point, implement a proper scheme in ux

Hi all, My name is Devine, and I'm to blame for the uxn disaster.. I'm getting this link thrown at me from all sides right now, so I figured I might as well chip in. I'm a bit more on the design-y side of things, and all thes

No, a bit more generally. Recently someone was like "the browser is the simplest way to get a pixel drawn on the screen", this sort of thinking is what I meant here.

I feel like Illich would have despised the browser as it is of a cowardly sort of simplicity, one that shoves complexity behind a massive amount of bloat leaving only space to participants who can afford the top-of-the-line fastest possible
