Exactly! I still remember crawling through manpages back in the day. It's very nice.

As it happens, I am in the process of making a documentation language with equation and graph support, taking hints from GraphViz, and initially targets PostScript. Structurally, I know how DAGs work. I have used DAGs in this abandoned compiler I was working on:

https://github.com/Chubek/Batmite

dag.c

It also has a graph coloring code.

I stopped working on it. I also learned about graphs in HS and first semester of college at DiscMath class, but they were basic info. I then learned about graphs by reading Rosen's discmath. I wanna read 7th edition. But ChatGPT has made me lazy. Why read a book fully when I can make a model, tell it to absorb the book (I think they have downloaded the entire libgen into their model? Am I wrong here? Why does it know every book libgen has, and does not know every book ligen does NOT have?) and then quiz it? haha.

Most of my programs are in C Link. Would this turn them off? I have no issue learning a new language mind you, let alone, superset of one I know. What worries me is the standard library. It's not hard to learn a language, it's hard to learn its standard library. For example, Rust has an extremely non-POSIX-ly STD. It really turns me off. To this day I have no clue how to close a file in Rust. I am implementing AWK in Rust, since there's already an AWK in Go and I think there must be one in Rust. However there's no damn close function! There's no file descriptors. I know Rust does most of its shit during compile-time and it's mostly a meta language with focus on denotational semantics (which I just happen to write a Gist document about here) so I finally had to make a ChatGPT model to explain Rust to me. I have a ChatGPT model for most languages, just to look them up.

I am also making a Ruby script to create manpages for Rust. Based on the JSON files that come with Rust-Doc package on Pop_OS!. If anyone wants to help me with those. that would be great. Thanks.

I was invited to a FLOSS engine project, I think it was Piston. I did not know much so I just bailed. I usually prefer making stuff from scratch because my aim is to learn, I know the software I write has no use. Like rn I am writing a UNIX shell. Just to learn (I just remoted it, see my profile).

Still, I doubt I will ever get a systems job. I don't have a degree. I dropped out. I will get one eventually, but I doubt the shirtty thirdie for-profit college I can afford is going to be attractive to recruiters.

I do have a job currently, it pays enough for thirdie living especially given the devaluation of currency here. I just want to have a job where I am not ignored for days by my client, like the job I have now.

I think it's everyone's dream to make a FLOSS that attracts pay piggies, I would like that too but I don't put much stonk on it. It's as delusional as people who clone a Todo app and expect to get hired by anyone.

Delusions run rampant in this discipline sadly. People are entitled. I think a degree is important because I would personally not entrust a non-degree holder with the stuff I personally like.

I try not to be entitled but I need to eat.

Anyways sorry if I am rambling.

Uh apologies. I did not realize that.

Yes I realized as much that a hand-roller LP is best. Especially after I read Design Concepts [2008, MIT] and learned how to represent ASTs in S-Expressions. Thanks.

Thanks a lot. I had reverted it to Zsh, now made it Fish again.

However, there's a problem that I hope this will fix, but I don't count on it. I don't know wtf happened, but whenever I launch a terminal emulator, it just hangs? I have to SIGINT to launch into the shell sessions. I hope this fixes, but what if it won't? What is keeping it? Is there a startup program idling it?

Like, the REPL won't show, just a blank terminal, I use Kitty; but the emulator that is default (GNOME?) won't work either. My full specs are in my Github profile -> github.com/Chubek

Thanks.

You cannot believe how thankful I am of this. Thanks man!

Ok.

I don't understand. Am I doing something against the rules of this instance? I have posted stuff like this before?

You showed up! So, about this, you see how 'let' binding does not allow you to add parameters right? (the val binding does) I think this is a good place to use tacitness. I will basically add Perl-like, POSX-shell-like features. To further add concatativenss, I shall add OCaml-style shell (|>). I will take a page from F#'s book and add a '<|' too. I was originally planning to have these two operators be defined orthogonal-like via the operator binders (infix, infixr etc) but I think it's necessary to bake them in.

So any other cool stuff? I plan on having intrinsics like 'add' and 'or' etc. Since it is translated down to C, I will add a two-way FFI, similar to the language I am writing it in, Cyclone Scheme.

THANKS.

Alright sorry. I'm just trolling people. If you go to my profile I have a lot of Rust projects. @hascat @FizzyOrange
