oculante VS dotfiles

While not CLI, I always look for cross platform image viewers and found https://github.com/woelper/oculante.

Had a few woes compiling it due to my laptops configuration, but once compiled it works with everything I would reasonably throw at it.

I use it to create games with the draw2d API, and then egui to show debug options on top of it. But there are people using it to create apps or demos, https://valdes.cc/articles/introducing_penduolum.html or https://github.com/woelper/oculante are some good examples.

Thanks! Please give feedback or open a ticket on github if you are missing something!

If you're on MacOS an imgcat tool pairs well with an imgpbcopy tool like this:

Then creating a shell function like:

  imgc() {

I started down this path sometime last year with Crafting Interpreters and I’ve gotten obsessed with this entire world since. I wrote a little language [0] using Python Lex Yacc a couple of months ago at work because I wanted an awk-like way to quickly make graphs/charts from the CLI. Then I wrote a parser-as-a-type in TypeScript [1] for the same grammar.

My plan was to take a look at OCaml for future tinkerings with parsers, but man, F# is already looking very familiar between TypeScript and Lex/Yacc-like things.

Thanks for this post, I think I might have a new favorite language in the oven!
