VO is my dynamic language, its weird but i like it. functional, OO and dynamic, its 'extendable' from within the language. - Unicode so Symbols are legit. - functions are first class objects, assignable to variables. - classes are hash with functions assigned to members giving methods. - as much as possible is defined within the language so its self extending. - pre/infix can be defined by the client programmer so pa…

what sets it apart from scheme/lisp?

I'm currently working on the browser editor for my programming language, With the smart tab completion - which parses the entire program up to the cursor every time you press tab - you can avoid a bunch of typing and also potential errors.

You type: radius=10gc50 50 r And right away, you have a circle on the screen.

I've been working on Zigpoll[0] for ~4 years. AI has changed my trajectory dramatically where it's way more realistic to compete with the big players as a one man show. Trying to close out on 2M ARR this year and then maybe look to sell and ride off into the sunset.

I made a code intelligence system from scratch! language agnostic and model agnostic. runs locally. Benzi is a compiler+harness+runtime tracer/debugger built from ground up to write code as neatly as it understands it.

78.2% on SWE-bench verified for github landing page: https://github.com/oooscoos/Benzi

Instant callflow/dataflow/controlflow lookups on any codebase for any AI model - you can see how huge this can be rite?

[HYBRID - Human&AI collab]

Some time ago somebody posted an extensive list of things you can do to stop bots from aggressively getting your website, if you don’t want to hide behind Cloudfare.

I thought I’d make a nice UI for that:

As the original poster said at the time: don’t use on a production server!

That said, I’ve been using it on a production server for a month. It’s surprisingly efficient, and if you ban RU, US, IN and CN it’s extremely efficient.

nowadays, with LLMs, everybody is calling themselves a developer doing any kind of project. Welcome to the future!

As a developer myself i hear this so often. Yes, it's (probably) your job on the line as well, BUT everybody nowadays can be a developer. Maybe, don't call it developer. Everybody nowadays can built some software that fulfills some need (or just for fun). It's actually something good, isn't it?

Would you mind, if you could suddenly, over night, be a carpenter, a watch maker or glassblower?
