Nice! Compiles in 2s on my unexceptional hardware. But it lacks my other main desiderata in a new language: string interpolation and kebab-case.


Oh, it _does_ have string interpolation, my bad. Sadly, not by default -- you still have to go back and add an "f" before the string once you've started typing it and then realize that you want an interpolated string. Also, it doesn't always work -- if I define two interpolated string variables in one function, GCC chokes in a way I'm not understanding. And every interpolated string variable consumes 4K of global memory.


Hooray! Personally, I'm hoping this'll lead to support for the GPU on Spacemit SoCs.


The GPU driver itself is largely the same, though it might need some tweaks for the specific variant in the K1.

The bigger hurdle will likely be the display controller. The TH1520 and JH7110 both use the Verisilicon DC8200, whereas the Spacemit K1 uses a custom display controller that will need its own DRM driver mainlined.


I’ve often heard “Fontucky” for Fontana CA.


In synthesizers, diodes are used in oscillators to shape triangle waves into sine waves.

Once you cut through all the verbiage, this is just a re-invention of Woosh (https://woosh.sourceforge.net/).


Oh, awesome! I didnt know Woosh got uploaded to SourceForge!

He does go into some ideas about how to implement this approach more efficiently, which seems potentially very important to making it useful.


But if that's what they want, they may be driving out the exact wrong subset of their devs.


Another interesting one is Scroll, a scrolling-tiling fork of Sway: https://github.com/dawsers/scroll/


I still have one of these that I bought back in its heyday, but it doesn't work. I suspect it just needs new belts.
