@500Indy1911 Definitely didn’t make the aeroscreen transition very well.

Could be a different story if rahals wheel doesn’t fly off and ricochet off his car in 2021.

Timing and luck sometimes don’t play out.

Even earlier prehistoric C: B/BCPL semantic arrays

structs nowhere to be found

Turning 1972 prehistoric C into web assembly

[Jason @_dtx___]

@papaji17098340 @fkx1tt3r90413 @kirancodes It's from the addition of structs and moving from BCPL/B semantics where an array is allocated as a block of memory and a pointer into it.

If you want a struct to exactly represent memory in a file, you gotta do something about that extra pointer. Hence the magical decay.

@kuhan @throwing_daniel They definitely didn’t

@notchloechloe @ChShersh It was rhetorical.

Just inline at the call site. Don’t add a layer of indirection.

Dumb optimization

You don’t want to miss this deleted scene from Star Wars: A New Hope 👀

It shows a conversation between Luke Skywalker and his best friend Biggs before they both join the Rebellion.

@beefcakez @teej_dv You’re in luck. I got you

@beefcakez @teej_dv BCPL uses vector for arrays. In fact it’s a keyword.

LET v = VEC 10

Now add EAX so it sounds like I’m in the bathroom

Discord is adding Spatial Audio support for voice channels, so you can hear your friends as if you were talking next to each other!

@yacineMTB You pay me because I have exquisite taste

Is the world of esoteric programming languages dead?

People only refer to decades old EPLs like brainfuck.

Have we explored all the weird boundaries of programming?

[Jason @_dtx___]

Forgot to add codegen for compound ops like ‘+:=‘ when the left hand side is a derefed pointer

x +:= 1 //all good
!x +:= 1 // busted

Whoops

@zwjna @OlexGameDev @oxcrowx Amazing

[Jason @_dtx___]

Full BMSSP example working, along with comparison to Djikstra's algo.

Pushed the compiler to the limit and fixed some subtle code generation bugs in the process.

Also, direct links to example files is a thing.
