So, @abnercoimbre kindly asked me to come talk with Handmade Seattle again this year.
In response to the recent mass layoffs and crumbling tech landscape, Abner suggested that I come present some thoughts I might have on different ways to adapt and live.
See you there 🌻 Nov 20-22nd, 2024
String Rewrite Systems are abstract machines that can only replace parts of a string with another. A rule is made of two statements, where "left" is replaced with "right":
<> left right
The system will attempt to do rewrites until no matches in the input string can be found and the program will terminate.
But most importantly, it's super fun to use to draw graphics.
