       Currently converting a simple #SieveOfEratosthenes program I wrote years ago in C to a hypothetical language I'm designing that allows only [a-z \t\n] (alpha and whitespace only) characters. 😆It's... beautifully terrible. A bit like COBOL, but not SHOUTY. 😄Blog post coming in the next few dayscc: @pixx @alcinnz @mirabilos

       @rl_dane @pixx @alcinnz @mirabilos please tell me its a cross between regexps and Brainf*ck

       @rl_dane @synlogic4242 @pixx @alcinnz ok, cross between COBOL and Brainfuck then.

       @mirabilos @synlogic4242 @pixx @alcinnzNo, no real relation to bf.Maybe a cross between cobol and pascal?Ok, maybe a pinch of bf, in that you're limited to barewords and there are no symbols. So, kind of an anti-bf. ;)I started off trying to convert a bash script to dialektos (my imaginary language) and, uh, stopped quickly. 🤣It's definitely easier to convert from a relatively pure language like C.I wonder if the dopamine will last long enough to build an actual interpreter 🤣

       @rl_dane @mirabilos @synlogic4242 @alcinnz ...horrible idea: use a neural vector embedding mechanism ("how similar are these words?") to implement a _deterministic scripting language_ that accepts words that are "close enough" :P

       @pixx @rl_dane @synlogic4242 @alcinnz eh, you can use SOUNDEX for that, no need for neural anything.

       @pixx @rl_dane @synlogic4242 @alcinnz that’s tech from 1880 btw ;-) https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/fuzzystrmatch.htmlOr Levenstein or what-have-you. There are enough to pick from.

       @pixx @rl_dane @synlogic4242 @alcinnz just pick one that fulfills your “close enough”ness

       @mirabilos @rl_dane @synlogic4242 @alcinnz all of which are based on similar _sounds_ not similar _meanings_"Run" ~= "launch" ~= "open", is not the same as "launch" ~= "lunch" ~= "ranch"

       @pixx @rl_dane @synlogic4242 @alcinnz (and, IMO, “open” and “run” are two fundamentally different things, the first is just a fopen())

       @mirabilos @rl_dane @synlogic4242 @alcinnz The entire concept is completely different though, because, again, there is _no connection_ between a phonetic system and a semantic one

       @pixx @rl_dane @synlogic4242 @alcinnz you didn’t clarify your “close enough” before I posted, it could be read as typo-or-homophone-safe

       @rl_dane @pixx @alcinnz @mirabilos I had to reread your post because in my first read through I thought alpha and whitespace were in regards to people (lets be honest dudes)  :BlobCatFacepalm: :BlobFoxFacepalm: :neocat_facepalm:

       @rl_dane @mirabilos @pixx @alcinnz Sadly I am closer to LAS. I need to make it out to the DFW area; I have heard good things.
