I wrote a post about the clock language I played with at Recurse Center called:

\[ \exists - \backepsilon \]

https://www.fractalkitty.com/there-is-3-such-that/

This is just a prototype that the main purpose was for me to explore how I would define Types and how they interact.

This is a purely visual language. I'd like to think about what this would be with ears only at some point in time. I do think it is a good candidate for a folk computer interface or analog toy.

There is(Ǝ) – Such that (∋)

Let me tell you about a language. But if you wish to go play instead go here. It's going to get a little abstract below. There is a Canvas to Compose Upon The canvas is a square with the largest circle that has a radius of ρ. There are

Visual nodes and connections compose a clock.

I am still working on it.

Almost have a desktop version working. The export is an html.

🚀 Dive headfirst into #CRDTs with Jake's blog, where academic complexity is magically transformed into... more complexity 🤯. After a month at the Recurse Center, Jake heroically sorts through the chaos of math jargon to offer you the 'Last Write Wins' of tutorials—but don't worry, your sanity might win too 😂.

As someone who tried to make a new language and gave up after a month or two, three years...

I really enjoyed this RC #localhost talk that Ryan gave on the programming language she has been working on Felt.

She covers topics about what goes into building new languages and her case for a trying to make a smaller #rustlang, and shows some of the basic aspects of Felt. Love it!

A fellow Recurser, Ivan Savov, just finished a book on Stats and has a post on it with some freebies:

At @recursecenter in our Annotated Turing study group we got talking about diagonalization. I made a joke - then I made a poster and bumpersticker to go with it.

It's always a fun conversation to have - what is real - what can we express - what can we compute

HTML.energy day wooo!

I went to the Portland event hosted by https://the-sudo.net.

The site I slapped together is a random collective noun generator - lots of people contributed nouns at the event - I think we as a group were called an "unordered list".

https://nouns.website

It might be a little bird heavy because I obsess over birds. If there are collective nouns I missed throw them in the comments of this thread - I'll add them if they fit.

It was also nice to meet some recurse center folks in person and see some XOXO people again.
