  • Retro: A Modern, Pragmatic Forth

    I'm not a C programmer, and it took a fair bit of help from folks here on HN to get it compiling (it was forked from a 20 year old C source), for which I'm grateful.

    Details I didn't include but should have (I wasn't sure I'd have any replies at all... I should have had more faith, sorry)

    It's a bit of a ramble, sorry about that.

    MSTOICAL[0] is a fork of an old C based Forth variant, it took some help from the HN community[1] to get it to compile in a modern 64 bit environment, for which I am very thankful. However, it uses AutoConf to configure, build, install, etc... and I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove all of that logic. (C isn't my primary language, I'm willing to learn that, but adding AutoConf on top of it was too much)

    In order to work on that, I was willing to switch to Linux (Ubuntu)... got everything up and running for the most part, but then I couldn't access WikidPad[2], my local Wiki with my appointments, etc. I missed a doctors appointment because of that, so went back to Windows.

    The issue is around wxWindows changing the names of variables in some calls. On Windows, you just download an EXE installer and you're good to go. I couldn't figure it out because the program seems to be unwilling to support newer Python versions. (I could be wrong)

    I don't understand why they felt the need to make breaking changes to wxWindows, and the python is a bit too dense for me.

    So finally... I'm back in Windows 10, and decided to try to craft together a twitter clone with a bunch of weird ideas that I tossed out at 3:30 am in a twitter thread, and put into a more coherent manifesto.[3]

  • Ask HN: Paragraphs – should they contain line breaks?
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Apr 2022
    Reviewing the documentation from Stoical[1], it occurs to me that fixed line length text is archaic, yet I'm new to this world of C programmers.

    Is it reasonable to get rid of all the extra line breaks and make something that flows better on all screen sizes?
