Ohhh, they've got a bit of a GUI framework 👀 My interests is peaked.

It's probably one of the more powerful piping syntaxes I've seen. It's also nice that variable assignment can be placed in the pipeline.
A neat little stack-based array programming language. I've even implemented the sinebow function that generates a nice image: ``` sinebow ← ⍉×.○×π⊞+÷3⇡3↯⊂∶↷-0.5÷∶⇡..360 sinebow 100 ```
Seems like the Unity fiasco has invigorated FOSS engine development.
### *What is Factor* *Factor is a concatenative, stack-based programming language with high-level features including dynamic types, extensible syntax, macros, and garbage collection. On a practical side, Factor has a full-featured library, supports many different platforms, and has been extensively documented.* *The implementation is fully compiled for performance, while still supporting interactive development. Factor applications are portable between all common platforms. Factor can deploy stand-alone applications on all platforms. Full source code for the Factor project is available under a BSD license.* --- It's been five years since the last release, but Factor 0.99 finally came out. I even contributed a small bit of code and documentation fixes. If you are interested in a modern stack-based programming language or curious about concatenative programming, give Factor a look.

Hopefully, the next version doesn't take as long ;)

A talk demonstrating the [Factor](https://factorcode.org) programming language. This was the talk that got me into writing stuff with Factor. It's really hard to go back to writing code when you can't constantly interact with it. The gist of Factor is that it's an extensible, stack-based, and compiled programming language.

Having my first initial be X now feels so cringe. I used to go by just the letter...

I will say Juan is exceptionally bad at public communication, and personally, I'm glad he has been working on passing the torch to other people in the project (especially since too many projects rely on The Guy Who Can Do It All). Guy is a bit confusing to follow and I tend to go to other members for info.
Now, I can be convinced that Godot has management issues. Godot 4.0 was a pie in the sky goal filled with over estimation of ability to finish things. The engine underwent a re-write to almost every system and feature. It was a development hell as when A got changed B need to be updated, when B got update C need to be fix, and so on.
But, I'm not concerned that it was "all a scam" as major mile stones did see progress. I cannot stress how incredible the work on bi-direction text was. BiDi text is hard. It was messy. It was complex and complicated. Even big engines like Unity have spent a decade getting nothing done. Additionally, I remember how rough 3.0 was and 4.0 was an even bigger leap. 4.0 was trapped in development hell, and hopefully it'll result in the Godot project learning from that trial by fire.
This forum post reads a bit like someone suffering from burn out. Even I had to clock out of following 4.0's development until the team decided to push towards release. It was a fucking slog of development. With tons of features being pushed back because it would break 3.X compatibility or couldn't get done in time for 4.0. I couldn't imagine putting the amount of time and money into Godot that they have.

I've used it a bunch via the Crystal bindings. It's very pleasant to use and has many bindings. It also works will with function programming languages since it uses pass by value substantially.
Bruijn is a programming that implement pure [lambda calculus](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus) using [De Bruijn Indexes](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bruijn_index). This article discuss the ideas behind the language, it's implementation, and the properties of binary lambda calculus.

Seems like zig is about to take on a massive task. I'm curious how well they'll reach their goals.

The scene tree based approach just clicked with me well.
I've been doing some personal studying on game AI recently. During my search, I found a very easy to follow set of lessions on Implementing an array of flocking/steering behaviors. I just wanted to share it here.
A cool project I wanted to share. People have done some impressive things like porting it to the DS or even making legally-not-tetris with it.
