Pretty much, though I’m trying to replicate what I got in an Amstrad CPC computer.

Not exactly the same, but https://www.endbasic.dev/ tries to achieve precisely that: a REPL with built in graphics for learning purposes, albeit with BASIC instead of asm.

Really liked the article. One thing I'd add (and that I wrote about before here: https://jmmv.dev/2021/07/principal-engineers-oncall.html ) is that high-level engineers should be on-call. These engineers (alon

Crashing is fine if you are dealing with trusted input. But in the post, parameter validation was just an example. I've seen plenty of code using init methods to create network connections and the like -- and in those cases, you need p

I usually blog about engineering topics on my personal blog, and at some point last year, I wrote a review of which posts seem to work better than others. Here is what I found in my specific case: https://jmmv.dev/2020/

Good article. Just wanted to point out https://jmmv.dev/2021/08/useless-use-of-gnu.html , which also covers the portability problems that GNU has widely introduced and describes alternatives to the common issues.

Oh thanks. I wasn't aware of that article nor that Varnish did exactly this :) Updated the text of my post to incorporate it. And when I said performance would suffer, I was not implying it'd be terrible. I was trying to say that

Sure, but the kernel has no concept of arguments: all it sees is a plain string. PowerShell can do things better as long as you stay within its domain, but things break down when you talk to other binaries. Touched upon that here https:&#x

I also wonder if the existence of these APIs has something to do with DOS and Windows, where the command line is actually a single string and quoting is a nightmare. I wrote a little bit about this related issue here: https://jmm

Adding buttons to the UI is an alternative indeed, but so far I've resisted to add anything outside of the terminal. Once I let the environment "spill" outside of the terminal emulator, it'll be hard to draw the line on

They indeed are. As I keep referring to the Locomotive BASIC manual and the QuickBASIC builtin help to implement my version, I'm amazed at how many features those had. Especially the latter was a great IDE even when compared to today&#

Thanks for trying it out and for your suggestions. As for the white background, thanks for the information on how it plays out with astigmatism; had no idea! I'm still thinking how to add how some form of configuration so that those cu

The point of that comment wasn't to say that implementing all language features is trivial, nor to say that designing a language from the ground up is easy. But rather, than the "shape" of the language I currently implemented
441.
by jmmv 6y ago
That'd be nice indeed. As part of the 0.5 release I have just published, I split the language core from the standard library to ensure the former remains as small as possible. So far, it's at 2,500 lines of non-test code and about

Hello everyone! Original post/project author here. I'm honestly surprised to see this bubbling up to the front page after it was originally shared five days ago and failed to gain traction then. But anyway, thanks everyone for sto

Hmm, maybe. That's why I added the "text editor" suffix to the title, to be specific about what I was referring to. "Interactive command-line app" could also be misinterpreted because any CLI that asks for user inpu

Glad to hear that you liked the post and that you'll try it in a project of yours! It'd be nice to hear about your experience later on. crossterm is a very nice library, and I suspect it'd be extended somehow to "nativel

Author here. Fair enough, but how common is the TUI term anyway? I've seen it in a few places, but it doesn't seem to be as generalized as GUI.
