It's mostly derived from ancient Stoics and Taoist thinking. Think about death and it's inevitability. Since it is inevitable there is little value in fearing it. Or think about trying to change other people's minds. You have

I thought I was familiar, but now I think I confused it with a different project. I'll have to look into it more deeply, thanks.

For me I've come to realize two truths: 1) there is no value in putting energy into that which you have no control, and MOST things you can read about on the Internet fall into this category 2) almost all good or beautiful things are e

These things bug me too. Civboot.org is my project to try and rectify it.

You forgot to declare the package name! How are you going to properly load the hello.world.example package?

Lua is also a good choice as a first language because it's a super small well-defined language that let's you transition easily to JavaScript (which has a similar object model but is a dumpster fire) or python. Lua also integrates

It is not equivalent. The printing press took something people were doing manually and did it at higher quality and far larger scale. This is, at best, a tradeoff of a large range of factors.

The dead sea scrolls lasted hundreds of years and yet 99.9% of other thoughts, ideas and songs have been lost. Maybe it's okay that things are forgotten to be rediscovered in new ways. Maybe death and rebirth is what gives the world of

Edit: whoops, thought this was ask HN due to the question mark. Pretty cool stuff. Sam Zellof (YouTube) is probably your best answer. My project civboot.org is basically an attempt to answer a similar question and my answer is: reduce the c

I think they meant you should assume that YOU are part of a cargo cult. You should look for ways your own viewpoints/society/etc are cargo-cultish

cool a lisp clone. Good work. Could macros be used to add structs? How much code would this require? I don't feel like a language is real until you can associate data. It's literally the first thing I do when I start any software

Hmm, "harder to write" stings, considering how difficult html is to write. Thanks for the feedback!

Markdown is pretty bad for a lot of use-cases, like embedding data into text or using data to format text. I took my own stab at similar constraints: https://github.com/civboot/cxt

Markdown has loads of bad design decisions for writing a parser... or being the (human) parser. I've made an attempt to do better, it may be illuminating: https://github.com/civboot/cxt

In my experience, probably at least a 200-400 lines of C (another 512 bytes minimum? I don't know the conversion). The problem is not just declaring structs but accessing them, referencing them, accessing/referencing fields and su

Pretty nifty, nice work! I'll point out to any passerby that this C doesn't support structs, so it's unlikely you'd actually want to build anything in it.

Without structs? Good luck...
