That's one thing AI does a good job of. For example with the Cursor IDE or Claude Code.

Who would have thought it would be possible at all to finish a year of advent of code puzzles using #MetaLang ? Check out how I pulled this of using this very readable code on arnoldvanhofwegen.com/the/unoffici...

English is not sensible either, because Old English got mixed with French, in a similar way as happened with Dutch later. Before that, Old English was derived from Old Norse, while Dutch was influenced sideways by it through Frisian.

Meta Language @language.metaproject.frl · 29/01/2025

Of course, this is not Dutch, it's English. My countrymen use it way too much, and in twisted ways. The first seems somewhat normal here as a variation of an army dump. The second is an attempt at humour - I hope. Few people here would know the original meaning, but it made me wonder.

Meta Language @language.metaproject.frl · 29/01/2025

Dutch is not sensible, it's full of exceptions that need to be learned. It's an amalgamation of three neighbouring languages. In the middle ages, there was a committee that combined two of them and tried to leave out Frisian, the one closest to English. It's hardest for Germans because it's closest.

Most people don't know yet what to do with our Meta #programming #language, but it's just a matter of time if we keep at it. Meta is a #FunctionalProgramming language, but not a #pure one, so it's more like most languages than you may think. #MetaLang #code #dev #CrossPlatform #FP

Meta Language @language.metaproject.frl · 17/01/2025

No middlemen to corrupt direct communication between you and others. But you should take care not to blindly use block lists by others who make them carelessly or misuse them to push their agenda on others.

Meta Language @language.metaproject.frl · 16/01/2025

Via #REBOL and #Logo, our Meta #programming #language descends from the original #AI language, #Lisp. Our vision is for humans and AI to work together to improve #software. Most people don't look under the hood of their car, but technicians and engineers need to. #MetaLang #code #dev #CrossPlatform

Another great contribution from Arnold, that helps to test and develop the #language. It shows #BigIntegers, #string handling, #file #InputOutput and a #StateMachine. #MetaLang #code #dev #CrossPlatform #FSM

Most older #social #media #censor simple #project #updates, classifying them as #promotion, on which the #platform owner wants a #monopoly to place #paid #advertisements. They are completely unsuitable for any project #communication or promotion.

Most places are increasingly unworkable and unlivable due to owner issues and other poisonous people. Most are structured as little kingdoms where power hungry, insecure people #patrol as #gatekeepers. #Bluesky is direct between people, without #middlemen, if you don't blindly follow #block #lists.

Happy new year! #Bluesky developed well last year and worked well for our #MetaLang project, albeit still on a humble scale. It allows us to find the specific audience we need, while keeping unreasonable people at bay. We will continue moving more of our communications to Bluesky.

Generally, the submissions in various #assembler forms produce the smallest #binary #executable size. Submissions in #HigherLevel #languages produce the smallest #source #code, but they require #interpreters to run, or #compile to substantial binary code for complex expressions and runtime library.

000

Meta Language @language.metaproject.frl · 01/01/2025

I did also optimise for the #binary size that I know the #MetaLang #compiler generates. WRITE/LINE is longer in #source #code than WRITE, but it maps directly to a single function in the standard #C library. So it's a choice or balance between source and binary size.

000

Meta Language @language.metaproject.frl · 01/01/2025

My submission was straightforward. Some small optimisations are indeed possible. Size of the #binary #executable can't compete with #8bit #languages when using the #MetaLang #CC65 #C backend, but I have inhouse native backends that can compete.

000

Meta Language @language.metaproject.frl · 01/01/2025

It's a #SizeCoding challenge, so ranking is on size, but there are three different metrics. #MetaLang scores well on #source #code size, but we don't abbreviate words, so some cryptic languages do better. #BASIC is good at that. My main aim was to show a much clearer #program that is still small.

Note that Meta is not extensible yet. It will be eventually, like its predecessor language #REBOL, but this is high-level functionality that will come later.

020

Meta Language @language.metaproject.frl · 19/12/2024

Thanks for the feedback! I've been thinking about that, although initially I thought it would be a bit arbitrary. It also needs to show something special, and we're still working on the lower levels of the language. I'm considering a file copy example. This is already fairly high level.

Meta Language @language.metaproject.frl · 17/12/2024

I was a #Lotus #Notes specialist, which was directly inspired by Ray #Ozzie using #Plato as a student. Later I used the #P2P followup #Groove and several groupware systems written in #REBOL, #MetaLang 's predecessor. One of Meta's aims is to make the next step. #Bluesky is also a worthy successor.

Then I must conclude again that you rather deceive yourself then consider criticism of your thought process.
