i have to actually write a "compiler" soon, im not looking forward to it.


edit: a "compiler" in the loose sense that it transforms one language to another

write it in the source language that lets you use its parser

Aren't you the guitarist for the feed dogs?

if i wanted to write a game trainer, for no other reason than seeing if i can, do i have the right line of thought here of the direction i go in? you have to find the initial spots in memory that you want to modify and then use a program assigned to keys to change those to what you want to be? so if i wanted to increase money in a game by 1000 or some arbitrary number, i have to first located where that number is stored in memory, figure what hex corresponds to it and then assign a button to the +1000 trainer to cause it to increase it?

i'm sure i'm oversimplifying so what should i be learning to be able to accomplish this? i should probably start by looking into memory addressing since i haven't looked at that stuff in years.

figured it'd be a neat little project for learning more about programming and how computers work in general

meaning that the OO framework in perl 5 already kinda sorta did what it needed to, as the success of CPAN shows, but it sounds like the perl 6 hackers went off and made a completely new one? idk

it's ok guys, regexes are now a thing in every real programming language, you can stop using perl now.

and by real languages I mean Java, which has the best and most efficient managed execution environment that there is

yes you are right, perl 6 and by proxy moose is verey different to the standard 'bless this hash' stuff. its far better. try it sometime maybe?

p.s. packages and objects are kindof totally different things
