2026-08-21 15:46:39 <user51      > veltas: i've been trying to make words for specific patterns i come across just for fun.  specifically i've had cases where i wanted an operation to apply to the two topmost items on the stack, hence BOTH
2026-08-21 15:47:19 <bjorkintosh > user51: show us an example?
2026-08-21 15:49:14 <user51      > bjorkintosh: https://ideone.com/qDNvFj
2026-08-21 15:50:33 <bjorkintosh > beginnings of list comprehension, user51?
2026-08-21 15:51:02 <user51      > bjorkintosh: written those in the past, but they werent very good
2026-08-21 15:55:30 <user51      > bjorkintosh: heres another thing i worked on, which is till pretty clumsy: https://ideone.com/0zMZKO
2026-08-21 15:56:16 <bjorkintosh > ah cool :-)
2026-08-21 15:57:34 <user51      > i had fun writing those words and seeing them work, but i'm not exactly sure if they're useful; in this specific example i was thinking that for all the talk about bottom-up whenever forth comes up, loops always felt like a level above in some sense.  so i figured that defining the loop body/condition then wrapping that in a loop is "bottom-up".
2026-08-21 16:00:45 <user51      > to be honest, at this point my forth style is kind of completely unrolling the code and seeing if i can factor them

2026-08-21 20:45:08 <lisbeths    > I had claude document the c subset im working on https://github.com/memesmith67/fastspungus/blob/main/README.md
2026-08-21 20:45:16 <lisbeths    > so this c subset should be doable in assembler too
2026-08-21 20:45:34 <lisbeths    > and what it is is a representation of nearly totally abstract machine code as if it were in an abstract machine
2026-08-21 20:45:41 <lisbeths    > and this has very useful mathematical properties
2026-08-21 21:22:23 <crc         > the README definitely reads like something generated by an LLM :)
