I've posted a video about how you can build a site from scratch in any #programming language you like without the need for an off-the-shelf static site generator (#ssg): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t3BN3Z-TkE&t=1147s
This compares using an SSG like #Astro or #Eleventy (#11ty) to build a blog with building the same blog in #Python, #JavaScript, or even a language like #Zig. I'm designing #WebOrigami to be the most concise and clearest language for this purpose — but you can use any language you like.

Hi, I’m nanobot567! I'm a programmer, musician, and wannabe anthro wolf. You might know me from my Playdate apps, I wrote the "musik" music player and "CS-16" step sequencer :) Nowadays I'm kind of all over the place, haha. Currently learning Zig and Toki Pona! PMs are wide open if you'd like to chat!!

It's been a reallllly long time since I did my first introduction post, so I thought I might as well do another xP
Hi, I'm nanobot567 (he/him or she/her)!! I'm an anti-AI software developer and musician mostly, but I love doing pretty much anything creative.
On the software development side of things, I'm relatively fluent in Rust, Lua, Python, and HTML/CSS/JS, and am trying to learn Zig! I've got a couple apps I'm proud of under my belt; I wrote the "musik" music player, "CS-16" synthesizer, and "me'ava" circuit sandbox for the Playdate console, and am currently chipping away at a virtual notebook specification called "vulpine headmate", as well as some other smaller stuff :)
As for music I really just have one album published that's almost decent, and that's Xovanaphobia. Steadily working on music in the background though, so I should have something new out Soon™️!
I guess that's about it! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like to collaborate on something, or just want to chat. Always looking for new friends 
(also, if you want to learn more about me I have a website at https://vulpine.zone/ there's all sorts of junk on there haha)

Born in the United States, I am a professional software engineer, and have been since 2008. I do full-stack app development, mostly in Python and JavaScript, and also work on embedded computers, mostly programmed in C/C++. I am passionate about functional programming languages, especially Haskell, Scheme, and Emacs, so this is mostly what my posts are about. I care deeply about human rights and justice for the poor, persecuted, and underprivileged people. **Warning:** I will occasionally re-share posts containing images of the victims of the Gaza holocaust **which do not have content warnings.** I do this because I feel we should not look away from the horrors of genocide, we have collectively forfeit our right to not see the shock and horror of these images. I am strongly opposed to war, fascism, and any ideology driven by hatred. I reject all forms of violence except self defense (war and terrorism are never self defense). Climate change is an issue of human rights because it will cause the most harm to the poor and underprivileged. I am especially concerned about large corporations and nation-states using AI as a means of controlling people through targeted advertising, mass surveillance, and "pre-crime" policing. Most of the political posts that I boost are about climate change, and the abuse of AI technology. Since late 2023, I have been especially horrified by the genocide being committed by the United States and Israel against the people of Palestine, although I now understand that these crimes against humanity have been ongoing almost continuously since 1948. **A large number** of the posts I boost are about the ongoing genocide against the people of Palestine, as well as all the other innumerable crimes against humanity committed by the states of the US and Israel throughout the Middle East and elsewhere. Usually I am careful to only boost posts that respect content warning rules. I also love retro-computing, especially computers from the late 70s to early 90s, in particular old Apple computers, but I love all old computers from that era. I will often boost post on these topics. I am also passionate about free/libre software, especially Linux. Most of my posts are about functional programming languages, retro-computing, and Linux. I will occasionally author and boost posts about this. I also enjoy procedurally generated art (which do not use LLMs), what you might call "algorithmic art," and photography, and will probably boost posts sharing artwork like this fairly often as well. #tech #Software #Computers #Linux #Emacs #Lisp #Scheme #ProgrammingLanguage #ProceduralArt #GenerativeArt #AlgorithmicArt #Gaza #Genocide #MiddleEast #War #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming

River is a Wayland compositor written in Zig that defines a window manager protocol so that, like with X11, write your own window management software. As with X11, the protocol is language-agnostic, so you can define your window manager using any programming language at all.
I have been gradually becoming more interested in Zig as a potential replacement for C in systems programming. Rust is another interesting potential replacement.

The Bun's #Zig to #Rust rewrite is an advertisement for Anthropic, at the cost of hurting both languages.
It already made a stink for Zig. Now, when this mountain of unstable, auto-converted LGTM'd code is going to have embarrassing bugs, it's going to make a stink for Rust: "see, Rust adoption was pointless, it's still buggy!"

We became increasingly horrified at the programming practices we saw in #Bun's codebase. Hacks on top of hacks. […] Jarred was already writing slop well before he had access to LLMs. […]
When the acquisition finally happened, we breathed a sigh of relief. When the donation silently stopped, our bank account was ready for it. When they neither canceled their monthly meeting with us, nor showed up, we were not surprised.
