  2. As a kind of coding vacation, the last couple of days I spent time working on my programming language, #Mifflin, and I've gotten it to the point where it can process and understand anything in the language spec, which is quite a lot.

    Too bad it can't *run* anything just yet.

    Looking forward to a day when my shell scripts aren't a debate of #Bash vs #Python vs #PowerShell.

  3. TIL that when implementing a #programming language, I suspect many design decisions are made because they're less work to implement.

    Case in point: if everything is an object, like in Ruby, it's a *lot* more work than if things like integers and strings are just non-interactive data. Of course, this makes the interaction model more consistent. And you can do silly things like '5.type()', which is technically legal #Mifflin code.

  4. I think I've mentioned it a couple of times, but I'm also working on writing my own programming language, #Mifflin, to use instead of #Bash or #Python for shell scripting.

    I've discovered that it's actually doing something relatively new, as it's statically-typed... all the others I've seen are dynamically-typed. No, TypeScript doesn't count. 😏

    Immense fun, in any event. I hope to have something to release soon. Maybe a month?
