Oh man, as someone who used to contribute to a statically typed lispy language this would be the dream for me.

there's always carp lang but no gc

That's the language I was talking about :)

But none of us have worked on it in a while.


Carp is great and I would love to include a mode of jank which is very much Carp-esque. If you're interested in working together on this, please let me know.

Most of my contributions were to the stdlib so my knowledge of the implementation of the type system is limited sadly.

Maybe Erik, the creator, would be interested. I know he was looking at rewriting Carp in cpp at some point.


It's too bad. I was looking at it the other day, looks really interesting.

It's still a fun language to play with :)

My favourite thing was to run it on all kind of microcontrollers as you could just emit C. Wrote a small GBA game with it.


Yeah I like this layout and it seems to be available on all Linux distros. I only use it occasionally to talk to friends back home though, not sure how it is for constant use.


Using a bool instead of empty struct also means that there is more way to use it wrong: check the bool instead of if the key exist, set the bool incorrectly, etc...

I would argue using bool hurts readability more.

Even better write/use a simple library that calls things that are sets `Set`.


I could've sworn we got "sets" in the Go's standard library along with the "maps" module but... apparently not? Huh.


Almost made it into 1.18 but looks like it doesn't add enough value and has some open questions like what to use for a backing data type and what complexity promises to make.

Honestly insane in 2025 to not have a generic Set.



I feel it would be more interesting to show statistics about the words used rather than search.


If you dig a tiny bit in the devtools, you’ll see the sqlite file that’s loaded in the frontend with all of the data :)

A word cloud or some stats is a great idea!


I feel the same. If someone would ask me for a recommendation I would point them toward Zellij but if you've been using tmux for years it's probably not worth it.

The modal nature of Zellij is nice though.


Steam Machine is x86_64


The VR headset isn't and it's cable of both running games standalone and displaying games through the dongle from whatever PC you run.


Now that they've ported Steam to Android with FEX + Proton [0] (what this is running), the question is will they release it for the rest of Android devices? There is a ton of Android gaming handhelds and people are already experimenting with things like Winlator [1] but having well supported way could be awesome.

It's running SteamOS according to the tech specs on the store page, not Android.

Google has also agreed to officially open up to competing app stores from the next version(https://www.theverge.com/policy/813991/epic-google-proposed-...), so the time is ideal for this. Valve, if you're reading this, please release Steam for Android.


Unfortunately not, at least outside of the Linux VM shipping in new Android versions https://wiki.fex-emu.com/index.php/FAQ#Will_FEX-Emu_.28Linux...


It appears I was wrong about Android. The fact that they said you could just install APKs on it made me think what they called SteamOS was just Android here but your link is clear that FEX doesn't run there.

Guess they have yet another translation layer to run these APKs?


Probably Waydroid [1]. It's been around for a while and apparently works very well.

this has nothing to do with Android


Yeah I use this.

- V1 has some rendering issue on my work machine (haven't updated it in a bit, could have been fixed)

- V2 mostly works well on my home machine, some crashes

Overall wouldn't use it for work but for small edits it's fine.


As someone who just bought V2 I am worried that V2 uses an activation server at all unlike V1 with its license key.

When this free/premium with AI thing crash and burn in a few years I can kiss that license goodbye.


I bought V2 a while ago too when it was offered extra cheap. The problem it doesn't run on my rusty machine. I bought it to have it as reserve once I upgrade my machine someday (who knows if my V1 stuff still runs then?). I learned about this weird activation server stuff afterwards, so ultimately I had to ask for my money back. There was no way to "activate" the software and store the key/keyfile in a backup. In no way this is future proof in my view.

I want to use my software w/o depending on the availability of some random 3rd party server. I guess it just got worse with this new app here. I'm not enthusiastic about it at all. This has nothing to do with a price point at all (I was happy to pay for all my 3 V1 apps separately).


You should log in and download the offline copy of your license key and store it in order to safeguard such things.


Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a thing for V2


Right so people who said they were going to merge the products together and release it free where right on the money.

It being free means it'll eventually get enshittified though.

Oh well, I just bought V2. What worries me however is that it already used an account instead of a license key like V1...
