In my opinion, Odin is the most Pascal-like language with C-like syntax.

This could be really useful if it searched other code forges as well. It would increase visibility for projects that don't want to use GitHub as a host for their code. Most open source projects are completely dependent on Microsoft for

I'm also wondering if such an NPU can be targeted (in a way that can be understood) from the assembly/machine language level. Or that it needs an opaque kitchen sink of libraries, blobs and other abstractions.

I can imagine a lot of developers are living mostly in the terminal and browser. Wouldn't it be much more efficient to integrate on that level instead of taking screenshots?

For example, in the past Amiga computers had a 'GPU' (although much less powerful than todays GPUs) with a stable interface. It was a first class citizen in its OS. It also was incredibly easy to target in Assembly language.

That wouldn't be too hard if GPU's would have a stable interface. Try programming a GPU in Assembly language and see how that goes. The experience sucks, but that's the level that needs to be targeted in case of an OS.

Would love to read a blog post about that.

I also think it's bewildering when people say things like that. Are they thinking that humans are incapable of causing climate change no matter what they do? Or that we are currently not in trouble and fine for decades/centuries t

I use the Markor app from F-Droid. The notes are plain text or markdown files in a folder that is synced to my desktops using Syncthing. It felt incredibly liberating once I got this setup working.

The Oberon version in Wirth's book doesn't have a zooming interface. But the variant of Oberon called 'Bluebottle' does.

The information provided in the literature on Oberon contradicts this claim. Furthermore, the moon is depicted on the covers of some books about it.

There's nothing preventing you to use a Result type in Oberon. Just not as a fancy algebraic data type, but rather as a regular record/struct type.

I am not too impressed by its features. The most useful thing to have would be mouse hover support (f.i. for showing LSP based info).
