I love articles like this that show you how to start building something ambitious, like a text editor, your own language, shell, os. This one is lovely in plain C. I see on the site there are more in this style, like making a Lisp, a Forth,

I've been learning to use WebAssembly directly, by hand-writing the Lisp-like assembly text, and also compiling C to Wasm without Emscripten or LLVM. It's given me a deeper appreciation for the original specification, version 1. I

Like the idea, but having just the skull of a white-tailed deer is sad and doesn't seem practical for illustrating an animal. I suppose a service like this requires constant curation to maintain quality, the larger the dataset and more

Unless there's a conscious and constant effort to keep things simple, a programming language or software project will grow to consume all available resources, developers' time, intellectual capacity, and funding.

Exactly my feeling. Docker is "works on this machine" with an executable recipe to build the machine and the application. Newer better solutions like OCI-compliant tools will gradually replace Docker, but the paradigm shift has

Looks useful! I skimmed through the docs and had a question. Is there a mechanism for loading HTML partials that require additional style or script file? And possibly a way to trigger a JS action when loaded? For example, loading an image g
