Yesterday, in an attempt to avoid all sorts of responsibilities, I started pulling apart another #Psion SIBO C SDK tool.

ECOBJ.EXE takes an Intel OMF file (.OBJ) for a class and moves the class descriptor data into the code segment. Unlike #CTRAN, I have absolutely no docs on how it does this. I also have no experience with the object file format.

This has never stopped me before.

So, armed with a hex editor, a PDF documenting OMF (link below), and my beloved #Pascal, I've set to work.

So far, so good!

If you were writing a #compiler (or, in my case, a #preprocessor) and you had to think of a variable name for a "class" struct, but you can't use the keyword class... what would you call that variable?

Plot twist: The compiler/preprocessor is written in #ObjectPascal. (So it's actually a record, not a struct. Same difference.)

I'm currently using the variable name class_item which is a very un-Pascal identifier for many reasons. I'm thinking of using PClass or PsiClass just to get around it.

Let's face it, the www has become a disgusting cesspool of horrible corporate excrement. As such, when we needed a web store to sell our art, the only viable option seemed to be to build a site completely from scratch.

Shopify is a terrible company, firing employees for not using AI ( https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/04/08/1518213/shopify-ceo-says-staffers-need-to-prove-jobs-cant-be-done-by-ai-before-asking-for-more-headcount ) -- as is pretty much every other off-the-shelf platform out there.

Now, I absolutely loathe #webdev with the fury of a thousand suns. To make the experience slightly less painful, I decided to implement the entire back-end of the website in #pascal - a programming language I am quite fond of.

The pascal-side of the webdev experience has been quite pleasant, with the horrible bits naturally remaining to be js/css.

I made a wee video on how web development is done in #FreePascal - I tried to give a birds-eye view of how it all works, and it still ended up being an hour-long video. That probably is more because I suck at brevity when it comes to stuff I am passionate about :)

In any event,- here's the video:
