@lykso yes, I am definitely considering uxn, uxntal makes a lot of sense to me. I am having a look at writing a BASIC interpreter for it. Not yet fully finished my investigation, but it is on the to-do list.

@kapunta i absolutely love lua, actually. I really like fennel, too, the functional programming language that either compiles or transpiles to lua code, I cannot remember.
I think ultimately it is an excellent language for education, depending on your purpose. I think I wrote a bit of lua while I was using the TIC 80 fantasy console.
The origin story of lua is also lovely! It's from the global south!
when the bible says thou shalt not worship false idols it was actually a prophecy that foretold the rise of hatsune miku
Spent the day going up and down a gigantic apple tree, we picked 300lb of delicious apples for the local food bank from that one tree alone, and there was something like an other 100lb of fruits left up there.

Continuing my exploration of reimplementing LÖVE upon a risc32cfimv without an underlying operating system, just memory-mapped I/O... Today I'm starting to look at the "love.window" module.
That is I wouldn't bother implementing a window manager, graphics would be rendered fullscreen to the monitor at a negotiated resolution. Though it may be worth adding (blocky) upscaling.
When `love.window.close()` is called I'd switch to rendering stdout, as I'll discuss later.

The #ChambersBeneath features a large array of treasures, weapons, traps, tools and other items to help or enrich your character. Some items have a special identity, some items are cursed, and some items are enchanted. Over the coming weeks, I'll be describing each of them in turn.

Building Medley Interlisp from source has been dramatically faster since the past week or so: it now takes 1/3 of what it used to. I didn't modify the setup of my Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon box other than the usual system updates, and there were no recent major performance related changes to Medley.
I'm really happy but wonder about the source of the speedup. Perhaps some Linux kernel tweaks but my Mint release doesn't incorporate the bleeding edge.
a microcontroller with 128KB Flash and 32KB SRAM has basically the same resources as a BBC Micro with an SSSD floppy drive. people worked miracles with such devices...
