You start with a working Forth and then bootstrap, sort of like writing a C compiler in C. There is an additional trick that Forth calls metacompilation (note, that term has a different meaning outside of the Forth world). See: https://www.bradrodriguez.com/papers/moving4.htm

Traditionally Forth is implemented completely in Forth. Jonesforth is kind of non-traditional in that sense, because it is in assembler.

Doing that in Java sort of misses the point? I guess the enjoyment still counts if course.

Isak Andic, the 71-year-old fast-fashion mogul from Turkey and Spain, was traversing across the cavernous area of Coves del Salnitre in Montserrat when he “slipped and fell from a 500-foot cliff.” His son, who was with him, called emergency services at about 1 pm on Saturday, but Andic died at the scene.

Writing a book when you don’t know the subject matter doesn’t sound likely to result in a good book. Even more so for a language like Rust, which (short of Haskell) is the closest thing to a mainstream language that is informed by a lot of pointy headed PL (programming language) theory. A book about programming in Rust doesn’t have to go into the theory per se, but the author should be familiar with it, just like someone who writes an introductory calculus or statistics text really needs a much deeper mathematical background than the book itself will convey.

If you want a Rust-related hobby, first of all, why not do Advent of Code in Rust, or otherwise make a study of Rust? And then if you’re interested in PL theory, that’s another area to study. Harper’s book PFPL is a good place to start: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/pfpl/

There is not a single thing that “Kid Rock” could do that would make him look cool.

Maybe this?

Old but classic.

Thanks!

What size boox did you get for $300? If it’s 13.3" that is pretty interesting despite it being Android. The current one is around $800. I think I’m ok with a normal backlit screen in the right format.

The Hacker News crowd likes the reMARKable but I don’t see what’s so great about it. Inkplate is the only one I find interesting for now, and I’d want it to be bigger.

I used a reflective laptop (Toshiba T1000) in the 1980s and today’s stuff isn’t really that much more functional, at least for text.

Big phone means same mostly proprietary software and spyware apps, hard to replace internal battery, limited software updates after which the device becomes obsolete, non upgradeable memory and storage, etc. By comparison my 2011 era laptop still runs current gnu/linux distros and has a swappable battery, HD/SSD, and other replaceable parts.

Thanks I didn’t know about that. Interesting though pretty expensive and runs android 11 (I’d prefer to stay all FOSS). A convertible laptop is another idea, e.g. thinkpad yoga. Also would want easily replaceable battery which the inkplate has. The Boox sounds more like a giant smartphone, is that reasonable? This type of device should be nearly BIFL imho. 13.3" inkplate would be great.

I figured I was the only one who didn’t know what it was.

I might get an inkplate 10 (same size as Boox) but really want something bigger, like 14 inch or more, to read arxiv.org PDFs.

Took a minute of web search to solve that acronym.
