Given my restless/bipolar nature, I’m starting lots of projects—all just to abandon them half a week after. Still, some of them are/were quite fun:

Brainfuck Enterprise Solutions

BES is the company I’m a proud CEO of. Its products (all written in Brainfuck) include:

OS.bf

a minimalist OS with a shell, file system, and a script engine.

ed.bf

somewhat opinionated UNIX ed reimplementation.

meta.bf

Turing-complete Brainfuck meta-interpreter.

str.bf

a solid fully embeddable string manipulation library.

bf.doc

guidelines for clear and readable Brainfuck documentation.

bf.style

style guidelines for medium-to-huge BF codebases.

Sade

optimizing compiler from Brainfuck to Lisp, just for the purpose of bootstrapping BF Enterprise Solutions’ products.

Reb

another shot at Brainfuck implementation, this time interpreted/transpiled to C and heavily regex-based.

Atlas Engineer & Nyxt Work

Projects made as part of Nyxt browser work and abstracted from its code.

History Tree

my Bachelor of Arts thesis idea of a browser-global history tree.

NJSON

convenience library (not a parser!) for JSON indexing, validation, and discovery.

Nsymbols

symbol listing and binding inspection library.

Ndebug

custom (GUI too) debugger toolkit for CL.

And Nyxt itself!

Lots of things: WebKitGTK interfacing, graphical object inspection, UI framework building. LIKE, REALLY LOTS OF THINGS.

Lisp Libraries and Projects

Several Common Lisp projects and libraries around them. Projects:

Graven Image

Portability library for better CLI/text interaction with the running image.

Tripod

My polyglot blog engine I wrote about.

Libraries. These are mainly built around the projects above, but often are chaotic:

Auto-generated Telegram Bot API bindings.
• Trivial Toplevel Commands to define new REPL commands.
• Trivial Toplevel Prompt for nicer prompts like .
• Trivial Time for code timing/benchmarking.
• Trivial Inspect, a portable toolkit for object inspector construction.
• A(https://codeberg.org/aartaka/cl-minifloats, cl-minifloats), Lisp implementation of (mostly 8-bit) minifloats.
• libpd (Pure Data) bindings.
• Cyrillic transliteration library.

Turing Tarpits

I’m into using the tech in ways not initially intented for this tech. While I’m not yet at that level in hardware, I certainly am deep enough in software tarpits:

AID(,bes, Brainfuck Enterprise Solution (above))

The primary example of me going all-in with an esoteric tech and ending up with real tools built in it.

advent-of-code-in-cl-loop

Solving Advent of Code 2021 only using Common Lisp CD(loop) macro.

stdlambda

A Lispy standard library for Lambda Calculus, finally making this Turing tarpit a practical software environment.

Lamber

My Lua/Wisp-like programming language based on pure Lambda Calculus and extending stdlambda with even more utilities.

My Ed entries at RosettaCode

CD(ed) was not intended to be a general-purpose programming system, but here we are.

Modal->ed compiler

Now that we talk about CD(ed)...

And Wisp syntax preprocessor!

Wisp is an indentation-based syntax for Lisps, and I implemented with with a cursed set of regex.

ed(1) scripts and implementations

I like ed(1) for its simplicity and power. So it’s only consequential that I try to implement it with anything I get my hands on. Like with Brainfuck, BASIC, or Modal.

I also have a bunch of ed wrapper scripts and others’ implementations:

GNU ed, of course
• aed, my heavily customized ed
• xed, “execution” / scripting ed
• oed, OpenBSD ed for compatibility tests
• and wed/slewsys ed as a more featureful ed fork

My Configs

Configs for everything:

Commmon Lisp + Readline with custom commands and prompt, terminal auto-completion, and Graven Image integration
• Guix System
• StumpWM with lots of apps, Binwarp mode, and Emacsy keybindings for any CUA app
• Emacs
• aed, my custom wrapper around ed(1)
• Nyxt browser. Abandoned yet still useful and exemplary
• My fork of Suckless Terminal
• My heavily-hardened and Emacsified fork of Surf, Suckless Browser
• Classic Vi (not Vim!) config for Lisp programming
• Laconia and Dark Atoll, my themes for the software above
