PreScheme arena allocator, the funny part is i can just define external C text like in address->color and color-size LOL

dynamic array in PreScheme
prescheme from scheme48 source in ps-compiler directory, not from restoration prescheme
Whatever happened to the #PreScheme restoration project? Was it abandoned?
I'd love to get an update on what's going on with #PreScheme, but alas:
- There's only been a single progress report posted on https://prescheme.org, over a year ago
- @flatwhatson hasn't posted on Mastodon in many months
I worry that the Pre-Scheme project might have died a quiet death.
Small Headed Programming by Pjotr Prins
#PreScheme looks really nice (for Pythonistas think Cython but this transpiles to proper C, just like #Vala transpiles a C# like language to C)
Readable Lisp, readable C

@Laauurraaa the smallest binary footprint dream is actually quite close to #BinaryLambdaCalculus—there are only three (relatively high-level!) primitives that are expressed by short patterns of bits.
And you might've seen me boasting a 350-bit sorting program already, so something taking a whole screen of C code fits into 50 bytes, actually!
Given some (relatively primitive) compiler building, one can have a strictly typed&inferred language that compiles down to raw applicative #LambdaCalculus and actually looks easy on the eye! Something like Scheme & #prescheme, but even more minimalist in the computation basis! And yes, fast too, given a bit of (trivial) optimization and maybe your FPGA ideas
