alright. time for my daily walk.

and then to fix a minor annoyance in scopes, and then another bug in nudl: with gcc 15, some programs cause an assertion in the compiler due to a nulled shared_ptr.

#devlog #nudl #scopes

decorators now work for field declarations in structs and enums.

below is an example for an automatic command-line parser (declaration -> autogenerated help text), which is the work of @radgeRayden

#scopes

`struct` got a small upgrade this morning to support two kinds of extensions to field declarators

#scopes #devlog

LRT inspired me to add a new section to Scopes' loop (we don't support unstructured control flow)

something like

(loop (...)
(if repeat ...)
...)

the "if repeat" section must come directly after the head and only gets executed after the first iteration. this is where you'd print the delimiter for a token-separated list.

#scopes

sometimes i feel like there's something missing...

Kdenlive 25.08.0 has been released. In this release Scopes get a significant update as well. Scopes now has better styling by using system palettes for better theme integration as well as bug fixes in artifacts on high zoom level and paint modes. Compare the old styling on the left side with the new styling on the right on the image below.

C3

C3 is a programming language that builds on the syntax and semantics of the C language, with the goal of evolving it while still retaining familiarity for C programmers.

Today in Labor and Writing History July 10, 1925: The Scopes "Monkey Trial" Trial began in Dayton, Tennessee. John T. Scopes was a high school science teacher accused of violating the Butler Act, which made it unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school. Scopes was found guilty and fined $100, but the verdict was overturned on a technicality. Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee wrote about it in their play “Inherit the Wind” (1955). However, they said that their play was a response to the McCarthy anticommunist witch hunt and a statement in support of free speech. Ronald Kidd's 2006 novel, “Monkey Town: The Summer of the Scopes Trial,” was also based on the Scopes Trial. Scopes was defended by labor Clarence Darrow, who had defended Eugene Debs, during the Pullman strike (1893); and Big Bill Haywood against false murder charges (1905); and the McNamara brothers for the false charges in the L.A. Times bombing (1910).
