🧵 conversation

Little bit late, but a few findings from AoC with Enso (enso.org):

This year we did it internally, hopefully it will be an open competition next year 🚀

🐦 Enso (formerly Luna): New story about our adventures with solving Advent of Code 2022 at Enso together with @jdunkerley @JaroslavTulach and @Radeusgd Solving Advent of Code 2022 with Enso

Devlog Together

🧵 conversation

Kicking the tyres on my environment with a BF interpreter.

This is inspired by Compiled and Interpreted Languages: Two Ways of Saying Tomato

Thinking Together

💡 Are there any languages with transactions as a first-class concept? via Steve Dekorte

🧵 conversation

Would be interested to hear the thoughts of folks here on this thread.

💭 by Paul Tarvydas

For me 2022 was:

• 0D
• transpiler pipelines

Explanations below.

🧵 conversation

Not really topic here, but interesting development nonetheless

🧵 conversation

Never came across "Neuro-symbolic programming paradigm" but looks interesting 😂

Updates on future of coding's link search page: history.futureofcoding.org/history/links

Avoid screen freezes:

• Links data streaming download and parsing by segments

• Filter by segments

• Result pagination (less to render on refilter)

Shareability:

• If search query parameter is set, search that on load

• Example: history.futureofcoding.org/history/links/?search=hest

• Update search query param on search update

Usability:

• Sort by most recent

• Table layout fixed

• Result pagination

• Keyboard shortcuts

• f: first, l: last, n: next, p: prev, N: page + 10, P: page - 10, s: focus search

• Loading status

• Row highlight on hover

Try it:

• history.futureofcoding.org/history/links/?search=alan%20kay
• history.futureofcoding.org/history/links/?search=bret%20victor

PS: I listed the improvements in detail mostly to highlight how many things are involved in a "simple" app that only has a search box and a result list, I think it's a nice 7GUIs style app specification to benchmark future of coding projects
