I was wondering how they managed to reflect the names of struct fields: looks like https://stackoverflow.com/a/77464529 explains the general idea. Where there's a will, I guess...

Smalltalk does the same thing!

Great work! Just an FYI, you might want to limit the dynamic allocation size in the bencode decoder: since it's untrusted input (either from torrent or announce), a malicious input…

I suspect the answer is 3: SKI combinator calculus is Turing complete and you need 3 de Bruijn indices to define S. Good call! I got rid of all numbers above 2, I can't count that …

I did take some inspiration from Unlambda: the prefix application syntax is cool! I/O in Unlambda is super weird though! You get a read character instruction that puts it into a ch…

I saw this the other day! I salute you, it's so much more evil :-) And yup, the order of evaluation is leftmost innermost. ``\\0`,.`,. with stdin "hi" will print "hi".

It should be! e.g. if every function takes a continuation as its final argument, then: call/cc& = \f. \k. f k k Then in f you can invoke the continuation k as many times as you wan…

You can always write it in continuation-passing style if you really want continuations! It's not pleasant but none of this is supposed to be ;-) Agreed on having too many character…

getchar does take a continuation of sorts (as in continuation passing) which is passed the input. In one my initial drafts, getchar was a special form that would accept input at th…

Thanks! I'm torn on having the character literals actually; they're definitely syntactical sugar, but I was struggling to write programs that printed anything without them getting …

Hello world should be: ``\\1`.'h``\\1`.'e``\\1`.'l``\\1`.'l``\\1`.'o``\\1`.' ``\\1`.'w``\\1`.'o``\\1`.'r``\\1`.'l``\\1`.'d`.'!

What if Brainfuck was less like C and more like Scheme? The interpreter implemetation is pretty bad. It's not very fast, it's not very good, and it's probably not very correct. But…
