🤦♂️ Oh, look! Someone decided to revive the 1980s by writing a web server in #ARM64 assembly—because obviously, the world was clamoring for that. 🙄 Instead of using anything remotely practical like #Nginx, let's waste time reinventing the wheel with raw syscalls, because, why not? 🚀

tinkering with #durexforth on the
#Commodore64, doing some #retrocodingI have compiled Durexforth from source, using the "master" branch. The main reason for this being that - unlike the official 5.0.0 release - the most recent code allows the S" word to be used in interactive mode.
Even more interesting is the fact that there already is a COUNT word but not its counterpart PLACE - so I provided that myself. And that eventually enabled me to provide a new, custom word: S, (which you may know from gforth)
S, will add a counted string to the dictionary, starting at HERE
Which eventually gives us a the ability to create nice lists of strings. 💡
Now, why do all of this (despite having fun)? 🤔
Well, remember when I put together a two-word parser for a simple #textadventure #game in DX-Forth on CP/M? 🔄
(https://oldbytes.space/@Wintermute_BBS/115996588963884170)With my additions in place that code now also runs on Durexforth without any changes (despite ASCII to PETSCII conversion) .... yay!

If you want to run it on DOSBox, or have a peek to the source code of my fantasy football management program, I put it here: http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.php?argument=retroc/oldp/oldp.inc I used a technique to sort of include inline assembly that was quite elegant and that I learnt from a paper by Francesco Balena in the mid-1990's. #retrocomputing #retrocoding #BASIC #QuickBasic #Fantacalcio #MSDOS

🌟 Breaking news: Developer discovers AI tools won’t do his job for him! 🚨 After a whirlwind love affair with AI code editors, our hero realized that relying on AI caused a slow-motion brain drain 🤯. Now he’s back to manually fumbling through code like it’s 1999, and recommends everyone join him in his retro parade 🎉.
