Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)

I continue to work on https://www.setflow.app - A DJ set generator based on your data and library, continues to grow at a slow pace, but I'm enjoying enhancing, building and tweaking, original post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46631235

I working on really amazing stuff after i finished it i will reveal it ...

I built an iOS app so I could have a widget to keep track of the San Diego Padre's season record and the division leaderboard. Crazy the official MLB app doesn't offer something. So I made my own.

So I was working on a clone of Sid Meier's Pirates [0] but with a princess theme for my daughters.

I figured it would be good to have some minigames in the above so tried making unrelated small turn based games as an experiment.

That in turn led me to making a Soviet tractor factory simulator [1].

an array language. now I'm working on the tokens->three address code->bytecode translation. I'm hoping to get that done this week, then start implementing the more important builtins&library functions. you'd be surprised how many functions you can bootstrap just by implementing grade/argsort.

for example:

  // C++ (naive version, sorry)  
  vector bin(vector& x, vector& y) {  
    vector r;  
    for (int a:x) r.push_back(lower_bound(y.begin(),y.end(),a) - y.begin())  
    return r;  
  }



  # Jet  
  ord

or course this is not at all apples to apples, though it works to show the difference in possible approaches. in C++ I'm just turning an already implemented binsearch into something useable for arrays, and in jet I'm doing some weird array tricks to implement it from scratch using grade up (asc).

moreover, the C++ solution is O(m*log(n)) and jet is O(m+n) (though with a large constant factor) - but of course we can do much better once I implement it as a real builtin
