@kalleboo imagine if @jrose's swift compiler for MacOS (classic) wasn't an experiment but a real thing, we could suggest writing this in Swift for better and safer memory management 😅 ... or, just to fully fit in the 90's, rewrite it jn Java and enjoy your Mac being totally frozen and unresponsive while the GC runs 🙃

@maccatalan @kalleboo I mean I wrote a real program in it. But also it was PowerPC-only, and if I were doing it today I would base it on Embedded Swift. (Which might even Just Work, if you can get the proper object file tools?) I think the Rust folks may have a 68k target though…
