I'll just leave this here https://www.llvm-mos.com

I'm surprised, and a little disappointed, that no one in this thread has mentioned parsing expression grammars ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing_expression_grammar ) which ar…

Yes, but I'm concerned about the number of existing browser engines that have fallen by the wayside, as the project founders have become exhausted. The scope of such a project is i…

Thank you Plop, but nowadays we have a profusion of blessings, including VenToy, iVenToy, and netboot.xyz.

ME: How can I get you to fuck off and leave me alone? META AI: I understand that you may be frustrated, but I'm here to help and provide information. I am not capable of taking off…

Fun project, but fairly old news at this point.

What I want is a dollar for every evangelist and every early adopter that has told me that the ?R explosion is right around the corner. I have worked in the game industry for 30 ye…

Classic premature optimization, assuming that hardware functions must be revealed in language features. If you can't get your integers closed under addition from the get-go, what h…

We don’t need any more computer languages. Still, you will run right off and invent another one. Let me guess, your amazing new language uses IEEE-754 math and fixed-precision inte…

Seems like your problem is more with the venerable 6502 itself rather than the compiler. Most of that assembly code is spent calculating the offsets inside the Ball struct, which m…

The loading screen reports 130 BogoMIPS, but remember that it's emulating the timer as well, so the number is meaningless.

Says you. llvm-mos generates surprisingly efficient 6502 code given its age and maturity. Don't take my word for it, try some experiments with it on godbolt.

Yes, if you use an REU, which is a correctly contemporary memory upgrade for the C64.

Onno Kortman has taken semu, a minimal RISC-V emulator, and cross-compiled it with llvm-mos, an LLVM port to the MOS 6502 processor, in order to run Linux on the Commodore 64. Kort…

Your assumptions are correct.

Other than permuting itself, what did it do that was sophisticated? Code morphing viruses have been around for a very long time, much longer than 2000. Simple replication does not …

I hadn't read the book when I wrote the article. I tried to get all the salient facts in, with as few words as possible. "Omit needless words" - Wm. Strunk.

Yeah, you understand exactly what I was trying to convey when I wrote the article. Thanks.

In Kaspersky's defense, they have started making their source code auditable for certain customers. Kaspersky is well aware of how they are perceived as a company, and they are awa…

That is an utterly braindead assertion. I wrote the quoted article about Stuxnet. And I've helped write multiple operating systems. Your argument not an argument. It's just a rando…

Do we just not teach lex and yacc anymore? Or any other LALR type parser generation system?
