Lisp, Emacs, APL and a bunch of other stuff. From Sweden, living in Singapore. I always work on a bunch of projects. My current major ones are: A graphical frontend to Maxima: https://github.com/lokedhs/maxima-client Kap: An APL-based programming language: https://codeberg.org/loke/array #lisp #commonlisp #apl #retrocomputing #linux #kap #climaxima #emacs #atari #fedi22

Inspired by the call by @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net for posts about things we do, here's a little update on my project.
Part of my goal with Kap is to make it into something different from just a programming language. I like making the comparison to Excel which by all definitions is a programming language, but it's also a system with which the user works with and presents data.
I already built a spreadsheet-like tool to edit data, but I haven't done much in the way of presenting information. I'm now working on a simple way to define forms, which can be rendered as a native UI, using HTML or even in a terminal. Once I've gotten further, I'll share a screencast, but for now, here's a screenshot.
