They do have a way to set up FPGAs for it though, so it's clearly not entirely vaporware

It seems like arpilisp is inspired by jonesforth[0]. Although not directly stated, the style is similar and the acknowledgements mentions Richard Jones. Anyone interested in implementing simple programming languages might also want to take

The comment literally directly below this one is about how awful new Firefox is for breaking their add-ons...

Honestly ed is mostly fine, especially on those old computers. It's basically just the line-based predecessor of vi

Aren't some Haskell developers also using Nix for dependency management?

To a certain degree. If you're unfamiliar with OpenBSD, security is basically its #1 priority and it's often recommended when you want better security on your server

To be fair, just about all of the most widely used bytecode VMs are stack-based. The JVM, CLR, CPython and YARV are all stack based. You're basically describing the exceptions

IIRC Servo uses quite a bit of Firefox code Edit: Looking at the project it seems like it uses SpiderMonkey, but is otherwise new code

If an API is meant for documents and you're using it for applications, that's not the API's fault

>JS is a language and not a bytecode media Does it even matter when most people are using it as a compiler target (even just from newer versions of the language)?

If you want reliable performance, you should look at functional languages besides Haskell. Off the top of my head I'd say that Chez Scheme, OCaml, and MLton are all probably faster than Go

> Don't go gatekeeping the gatekeepers I realize you're joking, but I didn't think I was. It's not like I said "HN is no place for this type of comment". I just stated my opinion

by fasquoika 9y ago
Is it just me, or is this kind of gatekeeping becoming increasingly common on HN? I'm really not a fan

>Why should Prolog be slower than CLisp? In general, declarative programming tends to rely on having a sufficiently smart implementation. Maybe Prolog is simply more efficient than I would've guessed

The link to the main github page, for the curious: https://github.com/TeamSPoon/wam_common_lisp Is SWI-Prolog really faster than CLisp? I had no idea. Prolog seems like a language that would be pretty slow by default,

>dynasm, ... luajit jit Aren't these the same thing?

They basically serve the same function, however since many functional languages don't have method chaining they use the pipe operator instead. I honestly don't know why anyone would have a strong preference for one form over the o

An important part of this is that Lua is generally embedded into larger programs. This is pretty much the #1 production-grade use case of the language. So when a new version of Lua is released, no one is actually expected to update their ol

Or they mailed a letter to a stranger with a wad of cash asking them to post this comment so they can avoid using computers completely

That's honestly ridiculous. I'd understand if you just don't like the smell, but there's no real health risk involved in walking past someone smoking

I was under the impression we were talking about Forth, not a pure stack machine
88.
by fasquoika 9y ago
If you're programming in Forth and you find yourself doing lots of stack manipulation, you should at least consider using local variables. Once you accept that there will be times when variables make more sense, you'll be surprise

At the very least, the size of the standards of the two are comparable. JS is far too inconsistent to be truly simple https://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-S... https://docs.oracle.
