Guile-syntax-highlight 0.2.0 released

from dthompson [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
I'm happy to announce that Guile-syntax-highlight 0.2.0 has been released! This is a pretty slow moving project but the last (and only) release was in 2018 so this release is long overdue. Guile-syntax-highlight is a general-purpose syntax highlighting library for GNU Guile. It...

Making uLisp more usable on the Cardputer

from Paolo Amoroso's Journal [alt+shift+b] in programming

4 months ago
<![CDATA[It's a joy to use the Cardputer uLisp Machine, a nice little microcontroller system that runs uLisp. But after a short experience I had to put aside my Cardputer due to a showstopper issue that made it impractical to program the device. Since then a good workaround...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
