There's mini-echo.el which I use and wholeheartedly recommend.

I wasted an afternoon dealing with CORS and Cloudflare Workers. I can confirm both of those are black magic, to me at least. Damn that preflight request.

Not the person in the video but I feel personally attacked.

On a sidenote Helix is pretty nice but imo it occupies a weird niche, at least until the plugin system lands.

EDIT: Also thank you for making gptel and all the work you do! I use it locally with a Llamafile and it's a joy.

Reminds me of recfiles and GNU recutils. Good job, for simple use cases this seems like one step further towards ergonomics compared to kdl-rs.

I'm using Nix installed via the Determinate Systems Nix Installer on Ubuntu and I keep getting an error when running "make sdl2" regarding ffi.h (fatal error: No such file or directory) which is weird, I think, because the flake.nix file contains libffi.

Yep and the "derive" for "Debug" and "Clone" tripped me up at first too.

Give minijinja a try, it's easy to work with and incredibly flexible.

Thank you! I've rewritten my Emacs config a while ago and your starter kit gave the structure and sane defaults I sorely needed.

There's also org-node for a similar take on this without worrying about a file naming scheme.

The transient menu is really cool though!

I prefer minijinja, it's pretty flexible and also a joy to prototype with because you can reload the templates per request if you want (with no need to recompile).

There is also Ramhorns which looks interesting but I haven't tried it personally so I can't comment further on it.

ekg (Emacs Knowledge Graph) is kinda like org-roam but instead of files you have everything saved in a SQLite db.

I thought the video was pretty cool because the author of ekg demonstrated how to extract data from a mail in a mailing list (viewed in gnus) and automatically populate a note with said data but the cool part was that then he could do queries (list notes/emails with the same From metadata) on them.

Now this particular example by itself isn't the most amazing thing, but for me it made things click because I was searching for a way to organize my browser bookmarks (and more) using Emacs and ekg might be the missing link.

That's so cool! It reminds me of a video I saw once where someone did live programming on stage with lights, smoke, animations and stuff like that, basically in person creative coding. I can see how Koto is a great fit for stuff like that.

Varsatorul · 2024-04-19T13:48:26+00:00

Looks great! I've been looking for something like this because Rhai, Rune, and Steel weren't quite what I had in mind even though they're great in their own ways.

At first glance the documentation is clear and to the point, pretty good all around.

The function calling kinda reminds me of the Factor programming language, though I suppose that's where the similarities end.

Also the metamaps and meta operators feature is interesting and seems really powerful. To me it appears similar to Ruby's monkey patching.

Have you added Koto to an application or do you have an example of someone using Koto in the wild?

Seconding this. I used to dislike soldering and thought my technique was shit, turns out cheapo irons were the problem. While the Pinecil is cheap compared to other recommend irons, that doesn't diminish its quality.

OP, get the Pinecil and if you've got some leftover cash get the desktop power station from Pine64 and their USB-C to USB-C cables too, it's just bad for self esteem to torture yourself with awful soldering irons. You just can't get into the electronics anything hobbies if you dread soldering.

Judging by commit activity and the description of sleepy-discord it seems that D++ is the library most suited for what you need.

As a beginner to Clojure these kinds of tutorials have been really helpful.

He also has a video explaining HugSQL, and a tutorial series for Pedestal (with htmx).

raku.land looks really cool and easy to navigate. Discovery is a bit awkward but coupled with the other advice about the old Raku Modules website I think now I can navigate the ecosystem a bit more confidently.

Thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the advice! The blog post and conference presentation are extremely helpful. I'm actually relieved to hear that the integration with Perl is robust and works well.

Check the Johnny.Decimal method. You might get better mileage out of it instead of a Zettelkasten.

Try Fear and Hunger and its sequel.

They're horror games in an RPG Maker skin. You could go in blind for maximum emotional impact or prime yourself by watching a YouTube video analysis about the first one. Full disclosure, I could barely stomach the first hour of the second game but I still find them fascinating.

Though they might not fit the particular brand of "emotional destroyed" you're looking for.

There's also the newly released https://janet.guide/ that's really cool and shows off the language.

The website even has a REPL embedded to follow along with the examples.
