I tried exactly this idea a few years ago (inspired by how Bear app did Markdown at the time). But I never solved all the issues to get it working 100%.Eventually I just gave up and moved on.
So bravo and thank you for making it work!!
Apparently I'm a super smeller (always the first to detect gas leaks, food that's off, know the brand of shampoo a person uses if I'm 200ft down wind, know if you use scented dish soap to clean the bowl you used to make cookies in when I eat the cookie). And I just think the idea that adding smells to the world is absolutely insane. Can I beam my favourite colours directly into your eyes with a laser from across the room? What if I know you like that colour too?
I’m realized years ago I have full blown aphantasia. But I don’t suffer from autobiographical memory deficiencies. For me it’s akin to what happens when you close your eyes for a moment then open them again. I’m not shocked by everything in the room “appearing” suddenly. I knew it was all there, but not because I visualized it while my eyes were closed. So when I remember past events, it’s with that same sensation of being there but just having closed my eyes to it. I do dream with full imagery.
After spending a lot if time in Prolog, I want a nice way to implement and compose nondeterministic functions and also have a compile time type check. I’m eyeing all of these languages as a result. I’ll watch Ante as well. (Don’t forget developer tools like an LSP, tree-sitter or other editor plugins).
Author of Ante here - it actually already has an (extremely basic) LSP. Tooling more or less required for new languages out of the gate these days and I'm eyeing the debugging experience too to see if I can get replayability at least in debug mode by default.
A Prolog TUI library that sticks to relational/logical programming, is conceptually simple, complete, and performant.
Only requires some core ansi features that exist or are easily implemented in most Prologs.
Currently have stuff like nested scrollable areas, toggles, frames, buttons, layouts working.
Also, a visual programming language implemented as a PICO-8 script, where the "programming" is done fully in the sprite editor.
Ok I’m genuinely convinced I’d be happier using Fennel than using Lua in instances where I need to use Lua. I’m not currently using Lua for anything. Maybe if I write a Pico-8 app…
As a proficient Elm developer with industry experience, I’m wondering what are the biggest challenges in hiring devs? Is it the paradigm, learning the ecosystem, lack of interest?
Are you currently hiring?
As someone who quite likes f#: It seems like a chicken and egg problem, not many companies doing f# because not many devs know it and not many devs learning it because not many companies are doing it.
I certainly wish I were doing f# professionally, but I only ever found 1 job listing for it, and that was in vienna while I am located like 200km away from it :(
Speaking of elm: I really like elmish for the frontend, when I need to make a dynamic page in the first place. Maybe that could be to your interest? (It transpiles to react under the hood via fable, which you can webpack into a drop in bundle. But I digress)
Jobs are kind of rare. I have to learn F# hoping maybe I will find a job in one or two years. And if I find it, they might want someone with F# work experience.
> Readability is a property of the reader, not the language.
Similarly, the inability of a person to write machine code directly is a property of the person, not the hardware. Yet some of these people admit their limitations and use K.
