  • gravity

    Gravity Programming Language

  • janet

    A dynamic language and bytecode vm

  • Project mention: Scriptable Operating Systems with Lua [pdf] | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-20

    Seems like a perfect use-case for Janet. (https://janet-lang.org/) A fast minimal VM like Lua, but even more extensible than Lua by being a "Lisp" with macro and C extension capabilities. Not a true Lisp, it's very pragmatic and performance-oriented. But it keeps the good stuff.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • pocketlang

    A lightweight, fast embeddable scripting language.

  • PikaPython

    An ultra-lightweight Python interpreter that runs with only 4KB of RAM, zero dependencies. It is ready to use out of the box without any configuration required and easy to extend with C. Similar project: MicroPython, JerryScript.

  • umka-lang

    Umka: a statically typed embeddable scripting language

  • Project mention: VDrift: Cross-Platform Driving Simulation | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-28
  • berry

    A ultra-lightweight embedded scripting language optimized for microcontrollers. (by berry-lang)

  • Project mention: Pluto, a Modern Lua Dialect | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-27

    This is interesting, but lua needs a refresh.

    I think berrylang shows a lot of promise now https://berry-lang.github.io/. The documentation has improved a lot and while it doesn't have a 'luajit' yet it has a lot of really interesting optimisation/reduction techniques.

  • metalang99

    Full-blown preprocessor metaprogramming

  • Project mention: How to convert an enum to string in C++ | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-30

    There are also other approaches. Macro variants making use of `__VA_ARGS__` would be probably the best trade-off. If you want a slightly more ergonomic syntax, something like Metalang99 [1] will help (and the author even wrote a post about this exact subject [2]). Codegen is another option which may work better than other options depending on the situation and exact implementation strategy. And there is always the Reflection TS [3], which may or may not be incorporated to C++26...

    The primary channel for communication right now is https://github.com/nature-lang/nature , where you can engage and keep up-to-date through issues, discussions, and watching the repository.

    Additionally, this is my first time hearing about the Mastodon platform, it looks really cool.

  • Project mention: Building a faster hash table for high performance SQL joins | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-20

    Worth pointing out that this can depend a lot more on fiddly details than you might expect. In particular, you're dealing with a small fixed width allowing the hash to be stored in the table instead of the key. The article emphasizes variable-length keys, and I don't see any specialization on key sizes (if 4- and 8-byte keys aren't common then this makes sense; if they are then I'd expect dedicated table code for those sizes to be valuable). And set lookups are also just a bit different from value lookups. I think these cases are different enough that I have no idea if the results would carry over, although I can see how the bidirectional approach would reduce probing more than RH which seems good.

    ...and since I've done a lot of work with Robin Hood on small-key lookups, I can point out some little tweaks that have made a big difference for me. I have 8-byte lookups at just over 3ns/lookup[0], albeit at a very low load factor, typically <50%. A key step was to use the maximum possible hash as a sentinel value, handling it specially in case it shows up in the data. This way, instead of probing until finding an empty bucket or greater hash, probing just finds the first slot that's greater than or equal to the requested key's hash. So the lookup code[1] is very simple (the rest, not so much). The while loop is only needed on a hash collision, so at a low load factor a lookup is effectively branchless. However, these choices are specialized for a batched search where the number of insertions never has to be higher than the number of searches, and all the insertions can be done first. And focused on small-ish (under a million entries) tables.

  • Project mention: Lost my creative spark - looking for help | /r/gamedev | 2023-10-17

    Over the last couple months or so, I've totally lost my creative spark. I'd been working on a web game and a programming language for 3.5 years and 1 year, respectfully, but both of them reached a point where I don't know what to do next...
