But how would POSIX shell be available? Wouldn’t it be compiled from C?

Re: TCO Does the language give any guarantee that TCO was applied? In other words can it give you an error that the recursion is not of tail call form? Because I imagine a probabil…

Reminded me of bytebeats (though I admit it's a different thing): https://bytebeat.demozoo.org/#t=0&e=0&s=44100&bb=5d00000100f...

Long time ago I was obsessed with Prolog. I found that if you bend it enough you could implement imperative code (a-la JavaScript) evaluation, still being valid Prolog: https://git…

No AWK?

My take on this is that it's not always the best idea to abstract-out SQL. You see, the SQL itself is too valuable abstraction, and also a very "wide" one. Any attempt to hide it b…

Right, this is not the problem par se. To me this is a rather philosophical question. Related to the motivation behind the project. If someone has some particular domain problem to…

It's funny to watch how often new programming languages resemble visually (and conceptually) the language they are written in. You can put it the other way: just look at a syntax s…

email:string( regex(".*@.*\\..*") ) This is incorrect regex for email. The correct one is https://pdw.ex-parrot.com/Mail-RFC822-Address.html

You can also implement includes in couple (tens) of lines of AWK: https://maximullaris.com/revamp_define.html#mglwnafh

Nice. Once I did some experiments at programming in Java using only sun.misc.Unsafe for a memory access: https://github.com/xonixx/gc_less . I was able to implement this way basic …

You can also program in Python just in list comprehensions: https://maximullaris.com/abusing_python.html

makesure, a similar tool ( https://maximullaris.com/makesure-vs-just.html ) I'm developing, doesn't require installation in the traditional sense: https://github.com/xonixx/makesur…

It has: https://github.com/xonixx/gron.awk/blob/e5040a7b1384c5839dca... Strange, should be much less failures: https://github.com/xonixx/gron.awk/blob/e5040a7b1384c5839dca... Could…

My pure-AWK variant: https://github.com/xonixx/gron.awk (features complete JSON parser in AWK).

True. Probably, only AWK is an exception.

I've just turned off all the Feed filters to show empty feed. This way it's more useful, than with it's "new content". I've bookmarked the direct link to https://github.com/dashboa…

For me the most relevant selling point of GraalVM is beeing able to compile to native self-contained executable. But on the other hand, Golang delivers on this aspect much better (…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to me passing the access token in the GET URL is not a good security practice. This increases the probability of unintentionally exposing the token. Th…

This reminded me the idea of compilers bootstrapping ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35714194 ). That is, now you can code in SectorC some slightly more advanced version of …

This sounds reasonable. When the GoAWK creator tried to add Unicode support through UTF-8 he discovered that this had drastic performance implications (rendering some algorithms to…

Btw, the GNU awk is also considerably faster (due to bytecode) than awk bundled with BSD & Mac (usually, "one true awk").

When at some point I decided to learn AWK better, I was surprised to find that it had some very Perl-ish features, like `print` is the same as `print $0` or `if(/abc/){}` as shorth…
