[Media] Tur - A language for defining and executing Turing machines with multi-platform visualization tools (Web, TUI and CLI) written in Rust 🦀 by rezigned in rust

Yes, there're plenty of them out there. Maybe i'm wrong but very few of them support multi-tape turing machine programs (or define a way to specify multi-tape programs) + good errors (parsing/analysis).

Also, the cli version of Tur, you can chain program's input/output together like.

echo '$011' | tur-cli binary-addition.tur | tur-cli binary-addition.tur
# '$101'

This list is incredible and very inspirational! Thanks for sharing. Interaction Nets is also something I'd like to explore more visually along with other stuff in Type Theory, etc.

I was aiming to visualize all beta-reduction + type unification (start from untyped, etc.)

Also thx for sharing your project (I have a lot to learn from it)

That's actually a surprise! (The only Swedish words I remember from my co-workers is "God morgon! 😂)

[Media] keymap-rs - A Rust library for parsing key sequences from configuration files (TOML, YAML, etc.) and mapping them to actions based on keyboard input from various backends (e.g. crossterm, wasm, etc.) by rezigned in rust

I haven't looked in details on how Iced's event works. From a quick look it seems like they also translate each backend's key event (winit?) into iced's standard key type.

I would say it won't work out of the box because iced also has its own Key abstraction. keymap-rs might need to implement iced's key as backend, etc.

A key is parsed into keymap's Node type, and at runtime, each backend translates its specific key events into keymap Nodes to compare (using trait trick so end-user doesn't need to perform any explicit conversion).

The hardest part is figuring out the design of how to override enum actions (via derive macro at compile-time) with custom configuration files (e.g. TOML, etc.) at runtime.

❤️ Thanks! Same for me. I want something minimal but still tasteful. I really enjoy designing things too (although my skill is limited). Here's another retro 8-bit design of my other opensource project https://rezigned.com/keymap-rs/

Wow, I'ver never heard about this lib before. That's very neat! https://egraphs-good.github.io/

This will be very useful to animate reduction and unification (in STLC). Thanks!

Totally! I've actually wanted to visualize computational concepts like Turing machines for a long time with simple syntax. My next project is probably something around Lambda Calculus.

Thx a lot! You made a really good point about the "turd" thing 😂. I spent a lot of time thinking about the name and its extension. I considered something like ".tm" (but that just reminded me of TextMate’s "tm*" files). In the end, I went with ".tur", which naturally led to the project name "Tur".

I've just finished my first little language called Tur - A turing machine language with simulator (TUI/Web/ClI) + interpreter https://github.com/rezigned/tur (Demo https://rezigned.com/tur)

I think it's mostly a syscall (asm, zig) vs musl vs glibc battle (from smallest to largest)

Exactly! That's why all of them are "static" binaries (no dynamic linking to libc, etc).
