- one more I forgot: why it's totally cool and punk rock to make your own programming language. Currently have the rather ungainly title "Here's three data structures, now make a language" pic.twitter.com/Kc9MJDT8bO

I get how it's consistent within JS' split between primitives and objects, but it's a little confounding that [] is true but "" is false

Also I have solved this in my vanity language by having no booleans, only Option or Result types

the “numbers” being on our side only matters if we use the strength, american white supremacists don’t outnumber us but they don’t need to if we carry on without fighting with the force this moment demands

You might like @kragen's Stone Knife Forth if you choose to give a talk about postapocalyptic programming: github.com/kragen/stonekn… I also like @abecdarius's ichbins a lot: github.com/darius/ichbins

there's always been something unsettling about the forth mindset -- it has both the Curse of Lisp "lone genius" problems, but also an obsession with bare-metal implementation -- its basically a software version of a Prepper mindset, so why not lean into it?

like, chuck moore's first book on Forth ends with a basic outline of how to implement forth on an early 70s minicomputer from literally zero, i.e. entering in instructions one-by-one on the panel switches

- postapocalyptic programming in Forth: I've been trying to give a forth talk for years, but I couldn't quite figure out the angle; after reading How to Invent Everything I realized I could take it from the perspective of "how to reinvent programming from scratch"
