🖤 Recoil — Unsound Methods (1997)

Alan Wilder’s first full post-Depeche Mode work. Dark, cinematic electronica built from fragmented voices, tension, and atmosphere — closer to an audio film than a traditional album. With Douglas McCarthy (Nitzer Ebb) and Maggie Estep, it feels cold, immersive, and deliberately unsettling.

0.10.10 landed!

The main focus was cross compilation but to properly implement this, package manager needed to come first.

So now Recoil has package manager. It's inspired by Nix and Haiku - it has immutable state and ability to rollback. Every package is stored under its hash so different projects can use different package versions simultaneously. It's prone to leftpad incident. Currently, it's fully decentralized and there's no central package registry. This may change when there are some packages to include in the registry.

Another feature of the package manager is that it can install 3rd party artifacts too and as current TCP/TLS implementation depends on mbedtls, it handles it, so mbedtls is removed from sources and downloaded on demand.

Package manager is written fully in Rebol3 so can be reused for Rebol3 itself.

The other big highlight of this version block!. It's first version and not fully tested but it's there, which is good. I'll start JSON rewrite using new block! so I'm sure I'll uncover a lot of problems but that's expected.

And cross-compilation. Recoil can now build ARM packages and is fully tested on rPI.

So that's all for now, enjoy!

There is a roadmap and then, well, there are people! Yes, actual people using Recoil!

And people have requests, like Recoil running on ESP32 board with touchscreen.

I wanted to add cross compilation anyway and getting touchscreen to run is a great test of Recoil's FFI interface.

So once I finish current bunch of compilator improvements, next target is cross-compilation. ESP32, here we go!

0.10.8 is here! Main focus was improving fsm! type (it's now mostly done), changing string! memory model (strings are now heap-allocated reference-counted pointers). There's also extend which allows adding actions for user types, so user defined types support is much better also.
Compiler got some cleanup and optimizations but the main improvement in infrastructure is in RUT (R* Unit Tester) - it can now run multiple tests in parallel. To make this possible, tests are now hashed which is another improvement by itself also.
