And I've just coded a ridiculously large set of nested IF ... OTHERWISE ... statements to handle a key situation. Now approaching the end of the game, though still have masses of earlier stuff to go back and finish off writing properly. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/InteractiveFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InteractiveFiction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameDev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/IndieGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndieGames</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Programming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ComputerScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ComputerScience</a>

lorddimwit is now @rk@well.comEating lunch and I suddenly thought about a project I did about fifteen years ago.It was web UI toolkit, based on the idea of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/declarative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#declarative</a> templates rerendered every time the model changed, and the model was a JSON doc that was synchronized between browser and server. There was a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/parser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#parser</a> combinator library, expression language with a compiler and VM, and templating library. The code is long gone but it looks like the paper is still available.<a href="https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/webapps10/tech/full_papers/King.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/webapps10/tech/full_papers/King.pdf</a>

GilesFunnily enough, I was just thinking about <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/declarative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#declarative</a> vs <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/imperative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#imperative</a> stuff this evening (as you do).This is a brilliant talk by <a href="https://mastodon.social/@adactio" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adactio</a> and well worth the short investment of your time.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHfa5ks4q80" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHfa5ks4q80</a>

Sundar<a href="https://qoto.org/@peterdrake" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@peterdrake</a> I didn’t get to learn Prolog, but taught myself Brachylog (<a href="https://github.com/JCumin/Brachylog/wiki" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/JCumin/Brachylog/wiki</a>) for the sake of code-golfing.It got me thinking about data and computation in an entirely new way. Generic “this will expand your mind” claims are overdone in this field, but it felt like declarative logic programming truly did that for me after more than a decade of professional programming.<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/prolog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prolog</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/brachylog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brachylog</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/codegolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#codegolf</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/declarative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#declarative</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/logicprogramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#logicprogramming</a>
