  • Hey whatever happened to Factor? That was an amazingly professional offering in a weird and dusty corner of the programming languages.

  • Prediction: someone will make a reverse polish notation skill for interacting with claude claiming all sorts of things, like caveman, turn into another markdown as a service company, and make the news.

  • My first ever programming experience was a Minecraft computer running Forth

    https://technicpack.fandom.com/wiki/Forth_language

    I built a massive mining platform that repeated a series of about 200 movements to vacuum up blocks, and used that computer block to orchestrate it.

    Must admit that I got a bit scared of programming until I tried again in university.
