I've been using gandi for domain name registration for over 20 years now. Am I missing out on some great alternative?

Let’s do a thread of what we consider to be the best things on the Internet. I'll start with two: Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap.

Okay, it now emits Zig and the process to get native and WASM modules out is very straightforward. I think the next step is adding array support so I can compile numeric code written interactively in Clojure to fast native code. It might be interesting to automatically generate JNA bindings so one can livecode native modules that get loaded into the JVM on the fly? 🤔

@nixfreak So far as I know Andrew Whatson is still working on it.
In any case, I have made a few design decisions that differ from theirs (type inference algorithm, source language, I'll probably switch to generating Zig instead of C, &c).

I couldn't leave it alone, so now it correctly refuses to emit C until it can ground every expression in a C-compatible type (type hints can be used to resolve ambiguities), and the generated C compiles to perfectly good WASM modules. This is now dangerously close to being useful. 🤔

I implemented the Nimble type inference algorithm from Henry Baker's old Common Lisp paper in Clojure awhile back for #reasons. It's based on lattice/algebraic data flow (Kaplan-Ullman) rather than logical unification (Milner), and works well to calculate type specialization while compiling dynamic languages:

Yesterday I added a simple C generator to make something like Pre-Scheme <https://prescheme.org> for #Clojure…

@log I started that way, but found it too visually busy. The idea is to explain that rotation follows the direction of the head-to-tail arrows, which also makes it easy to explain how wedging in the other direction reverses the arrows.

@benjohn This is a sketch for the docs for my geometric algebra library. In GA, objects have “grades” that indicate their dimensionality, starting from grade-0 (a magnitude without direction), and going up from there. This diagram is meant to accompany some explanatory text that should (hopefully) make clear what’s happening.

@technomancy @nasser I’ve been complaining about this since Github became popular, but I always got “Old Man Yells at Cloud” memes in response 🤷🏻♂️

@nasser I’d definitely prefer that everything about the project live in the repo. The idea that you should have all of the convos and ADRs about how your software grew in Someone Else’s Database is crazy to me. I’m moving projects from Github to Codeberg right now, and the PR discussions won’t be coming along 🙁
(But I’d rather use such a thing via emacs or a command line tool, just like @technomancy.)
