                     JOURNAL FOR SUNDAY 28TH AUGUST, 2022
______________________________________________________________________________

SUBJECT: A new annex, a new Mere ICE
   DATE: Sun 28 Aug 21:01:25 BST 2022

I’ve just created the annexed works[1]. A new section on the website for my
side projects, tutorials and other odds and ends. The first addition to the
annex is Mere ICE (interactive code environment). I’ll also be adding my work
on the cottage, the docker tutorial and maybe my notes on compiling Go from
source on a Raspberry Pi zero.

Creating Mere ICE has been a lot of hard fun. I’ve written a lot of examples
you can run and experiment with in your browser. Mere itself is still in the
early stages of development, but I hope you will take a look and let me know
what you think. As always I’m open to questions, comments, and suggestions.

Just drop me an email and I’ll reply: diddymus@wolfmud.org

Once Mere is more stable and has more features I’ll make Mere and Mere ICE
available as archives and a Git repository — just like I do for WolfMUD.

In the meantime I need to start adding some more data types, operators and
built-in functions to Mere. Expect an updated Mere ICE soon.

I don’t know why I haven’t created my own programming language before now. I
wonder what unexpected directions it will take? A good learning experience if
nothing else :)

A few things have already surprised me. How small the Web Assembly (WASM) is,
693K gzip compressed, and how quick everything is — even before optimizations.
I also had to brush up on my JavaScript quite a bit :P
