How much progress have you made since last time? What new ideas have you stumbled upon, what old ideas have you abandoned? What new projects have you started? What are you working on?

Once again, feel free to share anything you’ve been working on, old or new, simple or complex, tiny or huge, whether you want to share and discuss it, or simply brag about it - or just about anything you feel like sharing!

The monthly thread is the place for you to engage /c/programming_languages on things that you might not have wanted to put up a post for - progress, ideas, maybe even a slick new chair you built in your garage. Share your projects and thoughts on others’ ideas, and most importantly, have a great and productive month!

    Solar system sim stuff.

    Increased the computational core performance 120X by rewriting in Rust (og was Python).

    Was a great first experience for me with Rust. Used pyo3 / maturin to make a python library in rust

    I’m working on a project with my brother where we are planning on making a map of every freely available swedish road flow traffic camera. https://github.com/96kevrud/road-lurker

    I also started and am mostly finished with making a personal website (might share it in the future) and started working on a website for a friend.

    I also started working on but haven’t gotten far with a LUA ASCII game based around a discord server im in.

    Finally me and a friend made a small code in haskell that allows you to search for keywords in multiple different lemmy instance descriptions in a 24 hour (with many breaks) session. (just don’t ask where i got the dataset from) https://github.com/Ian-ko/lemmy-instance-finder

    Hopefully this month i can finally finish up nand2tetris. I did more or less all of it in rust to learn the language, and i feel like I’m now about as comfortable in it as i am in python. Learning how to build a computer from logic gates was sick, but debugging the compiler has been really draining. The way compilers work is neat, but all sorts of little problems keep coming up that force me to restructure large pieces of it over and over and i’ve lost almost all my momentum.

    I’m not sure what I’ll move on to next, maybe something more front-facing like a gui library, or maybe I’ll finally look into anything that might actually provide me skills that will get me a job lol.

    I’m making a functional programming language where the user can modify the parser using monadic parsing to display the semantics of the language in different styles with different syntax sugars. (C-like, python-like, etc.)
