I used "yEd live".

Hi, I am the author of the article, thanks for noting an error in the exception and finally diagrams! I have fixed the error where controlflow always went to the catch block.

Yes, the library will be expanded with functionality.

Those are good questions, I should have written more about that in the article! I'll give some brief answers: Regarding the age of the converter: Even though it is new it is though…

> You would still need the compiler to be written in progsbase too: is it? Currently no, but the progsbase language is very simple and contains only well-known constructs. So creat…

The WMWare example is very interesting! Let me just note that the article does not propose a solution to VMWare's problem. It only notes that when instructions are removed, code us…

As I explained in another response, progsbase is very different from Haxe. Haxe is an independent language. If you use Haxe, then you depend on the Haxe compiler. Progsbase is comp…

Haxe is an independent programming language that can be compiled to other languages. Progsbase is very different: It is a language in other languages.

C89, C99, Python 2, 3 were only examples as the table header says.

See the answer I gave maxxxxx above. Further, progsbase is not a brand new language, it is (mostly) a subset of most existing languages. The selection of the subset is new, but not…

The reason the name "infrastructure instruction" was coined for this article is that it includes instructions such as "int", "rdtsc", which do not deal with only input and output, …

The argument was that a program written with proven, solid programming constructs, then it will last a long time. The example language is very simple: It contains things like: +, -…

The removed instructions were binary-coded-decimal instructions, push / pop of CS/DS/ES/SS. These are minor instructions, but if your program used them, that alone means it no long…
