I'm no longer a software engineer but whenever I write or edit anything it's always in vim, nothing can beat it and it will be in my finger muscles forever. RIP Bram, you will be m…

Does this use the Fiber Scheduler API to figure out which fibers are blocking? If so, why does this need libev - I'm guessing it's to do with performance?

I like how you shutdown the threads (with throw), it was a nice touch. This whole project shows the power of IO.copy_stream imo.

This is not a good analysis imo. You don't necessarily gain any new awareness by paying attention to something or someone, you gain information. Whether or not you were aware of th…

Yes, there are quite a few Ruby implementations but MIR is not one nor is it trying to be. It's a standalone library useful for use in a tier 1 JIT for any dynamic language, along …

I've followed along with the craftinginterpreters book lately, and it's been a blast. My version of clox [1] has multi-threading with a GVL, managed GC heaps, and various bytecode …

Off topic, but almost done with Learn C the Hard Way. Great book! I was a little confused at first by pointer syntax, though. After reading K&R's C book it cleared things up for me…

I've been working on a language [1] that compiles (transpiles?) into Vimscript. Makes most things easier, I find. [1] https://github.com/luke-gru/riml

Although you might not want to debate whether Vimscript is better or worse than elisp, I don't mind. Most things are better than Vimscript. I've even written a language [1] that co…

I was turned onto the SICP lectures[1] though people talking about them on HN, and I was just floored by them. They still give me goosebumps when I watch them. It's like watching a…

Ah, ok cool. I haven't tried using PEGs and I don't even know the theory behind it, so I'm watching a video [1] by the author of LPEG now, which is quite good. Cheers! [1] http://v…

Cool project! Just wondering why you decided to roll your own parser. Is there a lua parser generator library? I've been working on a source translator, sort of like coffeescript f…

I was in the middle of forking a ruby gem... I really hope it wasn't me that took it down! The second after it finished the site went down...

Author here, let me know what you think, if you have any ideas, feature suggestions, derisive or sarcastic remarks, etc...

Hey, let me know what you guys think about the language, if you have any ideas for improvement, sarcastic and derisive remarks, if you want to contribute (!!), etc... Thanks!

Hey everyone, I've been working on a source translator that aims to be a superset of VimL with some other features as well. Why, you ask? Good question. Looking for contributors!

BeanScript. Gotta count your beans...

y$ will yank till the end of line (characterwise). Y is actually the same as yy, unless you n(no)remap Y to be the same as y$, which most people do. This makes make more sense, bec…
