Why I prefer making useless stuff
This does not look useless at all:
"Explicitness. Explicit and unambiguous code is a priority, even over brevity. No surprises." "Knox is an experimental language meant to help me learn Go and explore compiler design."

[Day 1 (Part 1)] A solution in Piet, a language where programs look like abstract paintings
I’ve seen that there is a bit of tooling, I should give it a try.

Why I prefer making useless stuff
I didn't know anything about compilers, but I figured out how to compile Piet programs, so I wrote a compiler[1]. The project has stalled out for (a) lack of free time and (b) some silly ambitions, but I don't care what the public thinks about my lack of updates, and that's great. In the meantime, I've been going down weird rabbit holes and learning aspects of computing that I missed in school.
