It borrows most of its syntax from C Headache was designed to be the most lightweight technology to compile brainfuck programs, and it can be downloaded with git clone, and builded with make, flex and bison in any unix-...

Has anyone used Jet Brains AI Assistant recently? In the reviews of the extension, people write that everything is bad, but what if something has changed?

Language to learn — Friends, which language a hobbyst like me would try seriously to learn? Like buy books and materials... I honestly learned a lot of languages since I was a kid: Pascal first as a kid, then Assembly and C when I entered technical school at 14, then Pascal again and VBA at university, then Python... But honestly, though I have some understanding of the principles, I don't consider myself proficient in any. I had to change jobs and profession a lot of times because of money...

A simple programming language — Made a simple programming language, kind of like a mix between forth and shadertoy. Your program runs on every cell of the board and outputs a printable ascii character. This way you can draw whatever ascii art you want... as long as you can program it to do so! It's got bugs, but for a language made in a couple days it's surprisingly fun. And maybe if you've never made your own programming language it might be interesting...

Artick - A static site generator supporting HTML and Gemtext — I've created Artick, which is a static site generator that can export to HTML and Gemtext. It has its own format that it converts to either (and possibly more in the future) so you don't have to worry about keeping HTTP and Gemini versions of your site in sync. As well as that, you can assign pages /groups/, and every group is given its own page. This makes site navigation easier, and is my preferred alternative to the...

Go - can someone explain why empty interfaces can hold any value, where it seems "regular" interfaces only define functions? In other words, why can the empty interface hold something other than a function definition? new to Go and interfaces in general...

Pitfalls of structure editors — The tools for a structure-aware editing have existed for a long time in IDEs and things like tags, cscope and lsps as of late, as well. However, the editors fully commited to this kind of mindset haven't really been done well before. Here, I'll list some of the reasons I myself have found while trying to design one, later abondoning the project. Also, while I am myself pessimistic of this idea, it would be interesting to hear other perspectives, or inspire...

What is a good Small Web programing language ? While I like Python, it's corporate driven featuritis is getting me down.... C is an obvious Small Web language, but I'd rather use something a bit higher level than that. Any thoughts ?

I'd like to express my disdain and physical repulsion to reading or even looking at camel case but I have no experience in textually representing so much negativity, so I guess a mild Eww would do for now. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Language Server Protocol—Does anyone have experience writing LSP-compliant language servers? What language(s) have you implemented servers for? What language(s) have you implemented servers in? Any unusual applications of the LSP standard? Any experience reports or lessons learned to share?

LPS Plugin for Geany Editor — Hi folks, I'd like to share the exciting novelty (for me it was exciting) that now is available for Geany 2.1 a LSP plugin: [https link] geany-lsp on Github I tested it extensively regarding an XML server: [https link] XML Schema for Geany-LSP #41 I confirm that it works like a charm. This plugin allowed me to move away from VSCode/VSCodium. The benefits are immense, as a matter of fact I can now work on my Arm SBC since the performance are excellent and...

Binary Golf Grand Prix 5 starts this Friday! — The Binary Golf Grand Prix (BGGP) is a competition where folks make binary programs that fit specific criteria while also trying to make the binary programs as small as possible. The 5th Grand Prix begins this Friday! BGGP1 (2020) had the theme of Palindrome, where the binary file needed to be a binary palindrome, so if you reversed all of the bits of the program, it would be the same program and still function. In order to prevent the user from...

How to provide configurable keyboard shortcuts to users of my application? — I'm writing a desktop app that provides configurable keyboard shortcuts. For now these are set up by writing key sequences to a file. Of course, something that sounds straightforward stops being so as soon as you get past the surface. I am now trying to figure out what's more "intuitive" (if such thing even exists) when you're trying to serialize a sequence of keystrokes to text. For example, let's say you have a US...

Suggestions for personal projects — I've just transferred all of my serious projects on Codeberg over to a separate organisation, and I've noticed that there are now only two mediocre repos on my main profile. Does anyone have any ideas for simple, handy things I could build to flesh it out? I code mainly in Python, I know HTML (but not JS), I regularly use Bash and Zsh, and I am learning C++.

Help me find my second language — Background I am a data analyst/scientist doing spatial and temporal ecology stuff. I only use R because...that is what I..know ? I was never a programmer before I switched from env. engineering and recently was thinking to diversify a bit to Julia. I have quote a lot of freedom in my current job to program in whatever I want. Occasionally I have to do it in python for the GIS people downstream. The people downstream complain a lot about Python being slow in...

It's the first time I see something like this: a sqlite query that works from the shell, but not from my Go code ([https link]). I switched from mattn/go-sqlite3 to modernc.org/sqlite (different sqlite bindings) and now the query works. If I update mattn/go-sqlite3 to the same sqlite version (to rule out the possibility of a bug fixed in sqlite 3.43.1), the problem stays. More ideas how to isolate the problem?

Converting Unix timestamp to date/time — Without any outside libraries. All we have is a Unix timestamp, seconds since Jan. 1, 1970. I'm looking for a minimalistic solution for my tiny nForth, but really curious if anyone has tricks up their sleeve for this kind of a task. I'm willing to ignore leap seconds for now. So far I got the time part: add timezone in seconds, divide by 86400 to get days, and use the remainder for time in seconds. The rest is trivial, dividing by 60 for minutes and 60...

Any C# fans in the crowd? I have a large legacy C# codebase at work, and I don't like this language. I feel like this language makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot, or write code that performs badly and doesn't scale (especially EF+LINQ). And, I find it hard to refactor C# code because of hidden control flow, colored functions (async/not/static/dynamic), 'hidden code' like getters and frequent disruptive changes (across runtime/EF versions). However, some people love it to death and I'd...
