aoc2020 VS hac

To be fair, compared to other years, only Elixir (last year) was more frustrating to learn than Rust (such that it does look like the picture above, due to many prototypes and all visualisation code being written in Python). I used Kotlin in 2020 and did Go for 2018 (though I didn't participate in that one live). I'm using C# this year, and all of these were simple enough that I didn't need to spend more time learning how to do things than actually doing them.

HAC's "Semantics" target now sets up identifier lists, a feature that happens to match the need for a smart editor's auto-complete feature. In particular, the LEA team seems to be happy about that new development.

HAC: release 0.2 with an interface between a program being run by HAC and the program running HAC as an embedded compiler. If you feel confused by reading that, it is normal ;-). Perhaps the following blog post will help clarifying things... https://gautiersblog.blogspot.com/2022/06/hac-as-embedded-compiler.html List of HAC releases here: https://github.com/zertovitch/hac/commits/master

Web site: http://hacadacompiler.sf.net/ From there, links to sources, and an executable for Windows.

HAC: release 0.1 with support for packages; improvement of the VM with instructions that do the job of two or more instructions. List of changes here: https://github.com/zertovitch/hac/commits/master
