Can I redeem my achievements for monetary and/or spiritual rewards?
Get snacpilled, Emperor of Cabbages, Inner circle (iirc), Godkiller, Look ma' I'm a webdev!, S T R O N G C O N T E M P T (if mothra counts?), Choose life
I think there should be one for migrating to snac, like "Manifest Destiny" or something less/more evil

I've definitely read books that I've hated, and immediately forgotten. So at least its not one of those haha
I really like that sort of ye-olde, matter-of-fact style. Its direct and efficient. I'd like to be able to write like that (my poetry is, but my prose gets too flowery/verbose)
Is the Monomoke one like Beren & Luthien? (I need to watch Monomoke again!)

The Silmarillion is fantastic, surprisingly readable too (there are quite a few characters, but each story only involves a few key ones). The geography is the hard bit imo
I may even have enjoyed it more than The Hobbit and LOTR (don't quote me on that)
I've built up this mental image of Beleriand, which is utterly useless (i.e., has no relevance to other Tolkien stories)
The way all the histories/lineages/geographies compound on eachother is incredible. Everything echoes, and those echoes are embodied in the societies and physical landscapes

I love these combinator names, next step is to draw cute pictures of each one ;)
(You've probably seen this already, but...) these lambda calculus ones are especially cute: https://dkeenan.com/Lambda/

Ah yeah that makes sense, it feels a lot more intuitive that way
Ooh I didn't even think about optimisations. Do you mean that x^10 'y/x would become y^10/x^10? (i.e., from an anonymous label draining x, to a fraction producing y^10)
Its crazy that "optimising a program" could just be "simplifying fractions"

hehehe, a text-based adventure game is theoretically possible. I added a naive "?" command to get a line of input (its then split into words, and those words are put into the bag)
I think user input will be fiddly though, because its essentially giving the user a REPL with unlimited access to the program. Perhaps limiting the input to a specific subset of words would work, like ?[look take quit]

I implemented @npub1z8r…mrq6 's Rejoice, in Perl for some reason :)
This was attempt like 3? I vaguely remember reading a Moore quote about "writing, rewriting, and rewriting again". I follow that advice religiously
I absolutely hate writing parsers, and yet invariably end up having to write a parser. This is probably the best one I've done but its still a bit of a mess!
The only difference I can spot between my implementation and the UXN one is that mine can't differentiate between [x x x] and x^3 (it always uses the latter). This means that things like [ .x .x .x ] will only print a single x (I'm not sure what the intended behaviour is for that case anyway tbh?)

It seems like there is an element of coding-style involved too? A lot of the FORTH/Uxn code I've seen splits lines up quite deliberately, which I imagine helps the author understand what's going on
There's probably no "one-size-fits-all" style guide though?

I assume at some point I'll be able to write FORTH without stack annotations after every instruction, but its not today...
(Reminds me of how tricky it was to get used to parentheses in Lisps)
