Hello!

This is the current Lemmy equivalent of https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/.

The content and rules are the same here as they are over there. Taken directly from the /r/ProgrammingLanguages overview:

This community is dedicated to the theory, design and implementation of programming languages.

Be nice to each other. Flame wars and rants are not welcomed. Please also put some effort into your post.

This isn't the right place to ask questions such as "What language should I use for X", "what language should I learn", and "what's your favorite language". Such questions should be posted in /c/learn_programming or /c/programming.

This is the right place for posts like the following:

"Check out this new language I've been working on!"
"Here's a blog post on how I implemented static type checking into this compiler"
"I want to write a compiler, where do I start?"
"How does the Java compiler work? How does it handle forward declarations/imports/targeting multiple platforms/?"
"How should I test my compiler? How are other compilers and interpreters like gcc, Java, and python tested?"
"What are the pros/cons of ?"
"Compare and contrast vs. "
"Confused about the semantics of this language"
"Proceedings from PLDI / OOPSLA / ICFP / "

See /r/ProgrammingLanguages for specific examples

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!

I worked on some existing personal dotnet projects, updating targets to net8, upgrading dependencies, and integrating and improving GitHub actions.

I made code improvements to a data-fetcher fetching speedrun.com data - although I did not get far enough to give it fully clear structure and trigger a full data update after I initially set it up two years ago (and ran it through multiple partial downloads). I want to include cache headers, because the API supports it, so the next data update includes them and future fetches will be able to make use of them.

I added some more content to my website, and noticed one page was referenced but missing. Turns out the 100 MB request size limit was reached (because of a few video clips). After updating my CI-deployment-accepting service and the Nginx configuration my website updates on push again (hugo-generated static website).

I've also thought about creating a GitHub dotnet template repository so I can more easily generate repos and projects from them. But it looks like that's not possible for private repos. I ended up creating one with the appropriate git, editorconfig, and dir props files. I will be using them next time I create a project.

Another thing I want to do is continue on or finish a web game written in Blazor. Some game rule restrictions are not enforced yet, and legal moves are not visually obvious yet.

I also want to try out GoDot.

On my Japanese/Hiragana practice tool, I almost want to give up because it's such a hassle and more significant effort to implement.

I've also been contributing to Wikipedia again.

After a long time of very little work holiday, I finally have three weeks. Two more weeks. We will see what I will focus on and be able to do or complete. :)

Doing small contributions to Wikipedia is quite rewarding. Sometimes I add little stuff, as it doesn’t take much time and small improvements are more easily accepted in any page.
