i saw a car on the freeway today with a sticker that had "epic fail" over an arrow pointing to the right, and it was on the right side of the car, but there wasn't really any room for it on the far right so it was still to the left of the make/model badge.

it's cool how simple lua is but there's all this sweet metatable stuff that lets you add complexity if you want it

has anyone ever written forth? it seems so neat.

im going to write something called espressoscript where its just javascript but I hosed around with the syntax a bit.

Gazpacho posted:it's a neat idea but i've met some of chuck moore's clique and they're pretty cultish, always talking about the great things that could be done with forth except that the "forth philosophy" says you shouldn't brb downloading forth compiler

in my previous life in semiconductor manufacturing i used to use a Varian EHP 500 ion implanter that all ran on forth. the front end was a normal x86 PC with a touch screen but the whole realtime system for moving the robots and doing dosimetry calculations was written in forth and ran on some weird forth CPU. i tried to write a program in forth for it once just to move the robot arms around and it was totally baffling so i gave up, hth.

btw i'm not really talking about ansi forth, i'm talking about any one of chuck moore's custom forths like this one that replaces the OS and color highlighting is operationally significant and it has its own optimized keyboard layout also here's a photo of chuck which would make a good avatar

huh heres an ehp500 for sale if you want a weird forth hardware system and some robots: http://www.caeonline.com/listing/product/145581/varian-e500-ehp it even has the "productivity plus" upgrade which gave you a blazing fast 1GHz PIII for the front end in 2006 and only cost $40,000, and another robot arm for moving poo poo around faster.
