March 2021 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
Working on GST my personnal fork of GNU Smalltalk. I've fixed a small issue regarding the object table in 64 bits you can expect to create much more objects without reaching an out of memory. Also I've improved the VM code specialy the way the objects were GCed and initialized so it brings much more flexibility to change the object layout (adding a new field at the VM level for instance) and added a static assert that will warm the developper ;-)

March 2021 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
I made some progress on my concatenative toy language Foray. There's a basic repl, basic error handling (still not good though), and some basic builtin operators, and some basic docs in the repo.

February 2021 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
I wanted to learn the zig language and I also decided to try making an interpreter for a stack-oriented concatenative language I'm calling Foray, mostly inspired by Min.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing smalltalk and Foray you can also consider the following projects:
star - An experimental programming language that's made to be powerful, productive, and predictable
bread - An expression based scripting language
Matrix - Easy-to-use Scientific Computing library in/for C++ available for Linux and Windows.
aulang - simple and fast scripting language
starlight - JS engine in Rust
pika - A WIP little dependently-typed systems language
firefly-boot - Bootstrap compiler for Firefly
bluebird - A work-in-progess programming language modeled after Ada and C++
wotpp - A small macro language for producing and manipulating strings.
Lithe-POC - Proof of concept of a functional reactive UI library.
rumi - The rumi compiler
