- simple language

- close to the CPU

- architecture independent

These 3 aspects are insanely hard to combine effectively.

Also is Forth 'close to the CPU'? It definitely is low-level.

I remember reading this in Dr. Dobb's Journal back in the day when I was still using Assembly language.

You are probably correct in assuming these kinds of problems are not possible given enough $$$

I does work for me, but more people seem to experience that problem:

Are there code examples or gists other than the tiny screenshot in the post?

I am an MPA purist, yet I fully realize that there exists a class of applications where SPA is the best choice ;)

Project Oberon does not use paged memory. For the most part memory defragmentation is done by a relatively simple system-wide garbage collector (by copying live objects to one end of the heap).

I don't understand, I thought document.createElement() is independent of JSX. JSX works just as well in Deno/Bun/Node.js without DOM functions.

I haven't seen many projects where people attempt to use SLIM templates as an alternative to HTML; rather, they are used as a complement. SLIM is for deeply nested structures and layouts, while HTML is for actual content.

SLIM is similar, but a bit cleaner: https://github.com/mattn/go-slim

Both SLIM and HAML resemble a DOM tree, it looks somewhat similar to what you would see in the browser inspector.

I appreciate that in JSX, functions can be used as if they were first-class elements.

In this case that would be accomplished by supporting the following instead:

    @hmlt HomePage() {
      %SiteLayout
        %p This is the home page for Hamlet.
    }

Which is much cleaner IMO.

That's awesome, I have used c2nim frequently in the past, it's easy to forget its existence with LLMs now being able to fullfill similar goals.

I often have GPT-4 translate C code fragments into Nim for me because I find Nim’s readability enhances clarity, allowing me to catch more details in a shorter amount of time. But I'm aware that this is probably a personal preference thing.

Nice! I think it deserves a post on its own: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38830777

@jcrubino suggested this in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38829811

I'm intrigued. Could you provide some pointers on where to start at https://clojuredesign.club?

So we have JSX-like language support for:

- Javascript / Typescript

- Lua (this)

- Go ( https://templ.guide )

- Ruby ( https://github.com/camertron/rux )

Any others?

MSX supported that as well

Yes, I meant pointer (and array) notation. To give a view examples of notation in other languages:

Modula-2, p: POINTER TO INTEGER

Nim, p: ref int

Odin: p: ^int

Go: p: *int

Strange syntax choices, Pascal/Ruby style statements with C-like type notation order?

I like that https://github.com/FiloSottile/age has small public keys.

It would also be interesting to have a book on writing your own CP/M-like OS.

> But if your focus is on GPT-4 then I highly recommend to use an API instead.

When you have made that choice is it still possible to use 'browse the web' or 'talk to a PDF' like functionality? If so, what would be the best way to do it?

Looks very clean, nice project.

As a resident, I would never opt to drive to the supermarket, I prefer to walk, or take my bicycle if necessary.

'age' is really impressive, it's helped me get a better grasp on GPG.

I'm not joking, it's genuinely user-friendly, and I certainly prefer it over GPG.

Interestingly, its simplicity makes everything about GPG suddenly make more sense.

I have been looking for that as well. Some sort of 'implicit versioning', a bit like how version history works for Google Docs [1], but instead for the filesystem.

Which Oberon compiler do you use?

That's impressive! Are there still any advantages in using Oberon commercially in 2023? (I use it mainly for study)
