    No. You can see at GitHub that I update Seed7 quite often. Approximately once a month I do a release and this release is announced at r/seed7 and here.
  • Question about installation
    1 project | /r/seed7 | 25 Apr 2023
    The packages are not updated so often. So you are more up-to-date with the releases (or even more up-to-date by pulling from GitHub).
  • Exercism related questions
    1 project | /r/seed7 | 2 Apr 2023
    I committed a corresponding change to GitHub (Support syntax statements without $ (dollar)).
  • Seed7 version 2023-03-05 released on GitHub and SF
    1 project | /r/seed7 | 5 Mar 2023
    This release is available at GitHub and SF. There is also a Seed7 installer for windows, which downloads the newest version from SF. The Seed7 Homepage stays at its usual place. There is also a mirror of the Seed7 Homepage which uses HTTPS.
  • Have you heard about the Seed7 programming language?
    3 projects | /r/pascal | 23 Feb 2023
    Yes, I am regularly working on improvements for Seed7. The changes are checked in at GitHub (see here for the list of commits) and once a month I do a release which is announced at r/seed7.
  • Core-js maintainer complains open source is broken
    3 projects | /r/programming | 15 Feb 2023
    It all depends on the circumstances behind. In the beginning the core-js maintainer had no family and now he has. When I released Seed7 I already had a family. It was clear that my job had to support my family and my hobby (GitHub link).
  • Seed7 version 2022-06-26 released on GitHub and SF
    1 project | /r/seed7 | 26 Jun 2022
    Syntax highlighting for the Nano editor has been added. Many thanks to Duke Normandin for creating seed7.nanorc.

  • Veryl: A Modern Hardware Description Language

    of course it does! what else would you call something like chicken scheme [https://call-cc.org/], ats [https://ats-lang.sourceforge.net/], or ghc [https://www.haskell.org/ghc/]? they are not "scripts", they are full-blown compilers that happen to use C as their compilation target, and then leverage C compilers to generate code for a variety of architecures. it's a very sensible way to do things.

    Agree about Haskell... as far as I'm aware there is actually no declarative/easily-readable definition of the Haskell syntax that is also complete, especially when it comes to the indentation rules, and the syntax is basically defined by the very (ironically) imperatively-defined GHC parser[0].

    I prefer a syntax like in Pure[1], where the ambiguous, hard to parse indentation-based syntax is replaced by explicit semicolons (Yeah, you can use braces/semicolons in Haskell as well, but most code doesn't).

    GHC is hosted on Gitlab, the Github repo is just a mirror. So money.

    Depending on who you ask, a programming language can be different things. If you ask the Haskell community, many will tell you that the language is the Haskell specification, and that what currently is being used is not Haskell itself, but an extension of Haskell that is supported by the GHC compiler. Similar to the C language, a programming language would be a specification.
