@CGM I never heard of #SASL! I have always been a huge #Wirth fan. Did tons of real-life work in #Pascal, moved through #Modula2 up to, finally, #Oberon2. Had such fond memories of it that I tried to use it last year for #AdventOfCode and learned that it was not nearly as good as I remembered. Have you tried #Racket (a kind of #Scheme)? It’s not for me but it’s interesting. Used it in a job interview once. Your description of how flow control is defined in #TCL really reminds me of Racket. I’m learning #RustLang and having the kind of #Macros you get in #Lisp and Scheme is another reason Rust is so enjoyable.

🚫🔒 "Lilith and Modula-2" – It seems our intrepid explorer is lost in the digital desert, only to find a 403 mirage. Maybe next time, they'll remember the secret handshake to enter the super-exclusive, ultra-nerdy club of server access. 🤷♂️💻

Better late than never: The (German) documentation for Megamax Modula-2 (for Atari ST systems) is now available in PDF format, too.

I was listening to an old #oxide podcast about #Rust and our individual perception of beauty related to computer languages.
Well, my personal beautiful languages are #modula2 and #objective_c. #Swift was about to classify as such, but took a wrong turn and followed the rocky path of C++ 😒

Thanks to Marc Poulhiès, @thesamesam and @mjw there is now a GCC full languages (C, C++, Ada, D, Fortran, Go, Modula2, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Rust and LTO plus libjit) with --enable-checking=yes,extra,rtl CI builder for https://builder.sourceware.org
https://builder.sourceware.org/buildbot/#/builders/gcc-fullest-debian-amd64
It does a bootstrap and runs all testsuites in about 2 hours, every 3 hours. All test results end up in bunsen.

Ich bin beim Aufräumen und habe heute die Handbücher von Megamax #Modula2 und #Signum für den #Atari #ST entsorgt.
Mit Signum hatte ich meine #Diplomarbeit geschrieben.
Irgendwie schade, aber das liegt ja nun wirklich schon 35 Jahre ungenutzt bei mir rum und ist schon dreimal mit umgezogen. -

Going through the basement boxes, I found the binder for Video Tools and discovered the disk was still in the folder.
I wrote these tools in #Modula2 for the Commodore Amiga. One of the handful of contract programming jobs I ever took on.

Niklaus Wirth, Visionary Software Architect, Dies at 89
We've lost a Giant.
#Pascal, #Modula2
#ComputerScience #TuringAward
#Lilith #LogitechMouse
Vale Niklaus Wirth.

Still playing with Modula-2. I now have a copy of Wirth's 3rd edition to help me.
The Pos implementation in the FTL 1.30 CP/M compiler is horribly slow if the substring being checked is longer than the string it's being checked against.
My solution for day1, part 2 of 2023's #AdventOfCode illustrates this nicely. There's a 30% speedup in execution time if you check for this condition before calling Pos, even though it needs additional calls to Length.
Fascinating!
