@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotI did ten hours on #PostScarcitySoftware yesterday, and then slept a bit, and then woke up with an intention to rapid prototype a '#Lisp structure editor in the browser' idea I've been thinking on for a while. I did about five hours on that, and it's looking promising.
I&…
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotWell,. the good news this morning is that i found a stupid bug in `cdr` which, once you've seen it, you can't unsee, so the seventh #PostScarcitySoftware #Lisp prototype is now completing initialisation and entering the REPL.
The bad news is that there's an unterminating recu…
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotI've started my development log for May. It's really mostly about tooling -- specifically, editors and debuggers.

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotI'm getting stack frames corrupted (or else I'm hitting the wrong stack frames) and I can't see why. My brain is far too messed up to deal with this level of shit just now!

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotMy monster, she lives.
It has to be admitted, she can't do very much yet.

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotIt's a week since my last #PostScarcitySoftware entry. The version of eval/apply copied from `0.0.6` still doesn't compile, let alone work. There are reasons. I've been ill — my brain really is fucked — and I've had urgent outdoor work.
There is progress. I am cleaning up bits of old cruft as I go. But I don't think copying the old code was a good decision. I…
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotAs I emerge uncertainly from another sustained period of #madness, I realise (again) that I largely use the #PostScarcitySoftware project as self-prescribed anti-suicide therapy. It's sufficiently hard that it has my foggy brain working at full stretch, and sufficiently huge that there&…
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotIn other news, I'm now posting my #PostScarcitySoftware development log on my blog, in case anyone is interested. Which, if you're sane, you won't be. #Lisp
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotOK, folks, I've written yet another incomprehensible essay on the intricacies of implementing a software environment for the hardware of the deep future.
Read this only if you're incurably geeky, and, ideally, interested in #Lisp.
#PostScarcitySoftware
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotThere's a Common #Lisp cryptography library called 'Ironclad'. I'm going to need cryptography for #PostScarcitySoftware authentication, but Post Scarcity #Lisp is going to be a lot more…
