# 📎 Artyom Bologov's Projects
By Artyom Bologov <aartaka.me>

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)

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

OS.bf <github.com/bf-enterprise-solutions/os.bf>:
a minimalist OS with a shell, file system, and a script engine.
ed.bf <github.com/bf-enterprise-solutions/ed.bf>:
somewhat opinionated UNIX ed reimplementation.
meta.bf <github.com/bf-enterprise-solutions/meta.bf>:
Turing-complete Brainfuck meta-interpreter.
str.bf <github.com/bf-enterprise-solutions/str.bf>:
a solid fully embeddable string manipulation library.
bf.doc <github.com/bf-enterprise-solutions/bf.doc>:
guidelines for clear and readable Brainfuck documentation.
bf.style <github.com/bf-enterprise-solutions/bf.style>:
style guidelines for medium-to-huge BF codebases.
Sade <github.com/aartaka/sade>:
optimizing compiler from Brainfuck to Lisp, just for the purpose of bootstrapping BF Enterprise Solutions' products.
Reb <github.com/aartaka/reb>:
another shot at Brainfuck implementation, this time interpreted/transpiled to C and heavily regex-based.

## Atlas Engineer & Nyxt Work (#atlas-nyxt)

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

History Tree: <https://github.com/atlas-engineer/history-tree>
 my Bachelor of Arts thesis idea of a browser-global history tree.
NJSON: <https://github.com/atlas-engineer/njson>
 convenience library (not a parser!) for JSON indexing, validation, and discovery.
Nsymbols: <https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nsymbols>
 symbol listing and binding inspection library.
Ndebug: <https://github.com/atlas-engineer/ndebug>
 custom (GUI too) debugger toolkit for CL.
And Nyxt itself!: <https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt>
 Lots of things: WebKitGTK interfacing, graphical object inspection, UI framework building.
 Like, REALLY LOTS OF THINGS <https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Aaartaka>.

## Lisp Libraries and Projects (#lisp-libs)

Several Common Lisp projects and libraries around them. Projects:

Graven Image: <https://github.com/aartaka/graven-image>
 Portability library for better CLI/text interaction with the running image.
Tripod: <https://github.com/aartaka/tripod>
 My polyglot blog engine I wrote about </tripod>.

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

– Auto-generated Telegram Bot API bindings <github.com/aartaka/cl-telegram-bot-auto-api>.
– Trivial Toplevel Commands <codeberg.org/aartaka/trivial-toplevel-commands> to define new REPL commands.
– Trivial Toplevel Prompt <codeberg.org/aartaka/trivial-toplevel-prompt> for nicer prompts like `aartaka>`.
– Trivial Time <codeberg.org/aartaka/trivial-time> for code timing/benchmarking.
– Trivial Inspect <codeberg.org/aartaka/trivial-inspect>, a portable toolkit for object inspector construction.
– cl-minifloats <https://codeberg.org/aartaka/cl-minifloats>, Lisp implementation of (mostly 8-bit) minifloats.
– libpd (Pure Data) bindings <github.com/aartaka/cl-pure-data>.
– Cyrillic transliteration library <github.com/aartaka/cl-translit>.

## Turing Tarpits (#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:

Brainfuck Enterprise Solution (above) <#bes>:
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 <github.com/aartaka/advent-of-code-in-cl-loop>:
Solving Advent of Code 2021 only using Common Lisp `loop` macro.
stdlambda <github.com/aartaka/stdlambda>:
A Lispy standard library for Lambda Calculus, finally making this Turing tarpit a practical software environment.
Lamber <github.com/aartaka/lamber>:
My Lua/Wisp-like programming language based on pure Lambda Calculus and extending stdlambda with even more utilities.
My Ed entries at RosettaCode <rosettacode.org/wiki/Ed>:
`ed` was not intended to be a general-purpose programming system, but here we are.
Modal->ed compiler <github.com/aartaka/modal.ed>:
Now that we talk about `ed`...
And Wisp syntax preprocessor! <scripts/wisp.ed>:
Wisp is an indentation-based syntax for Lisps, and I implemented with with a cursed set of regex.

## ed scripts and implementations (#ed)

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
in Brainfuck <github.com/bf-enterprise-solutions/ed.bf>,
BASIC <github.com/aartaka/ed.bas>,
or Modal <github.com/aartaka/ed.modal>.

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

– Aed, my heavily customized ed <codeberg.org/aartaka/aed>
– Xed, "execution"/scripting ed <scripts/xed>
– oed, OpenBSD ed <github.com/ibara/oed> for compatibility tests.
– and wed/slewsys ed <github.com/slewsys/ed> as a more featureful ed fork.

## My Configs (#configs)

Configs for everything:

– Commmon Lisp + Readline <codeberg.org/aartaka/lisp-config>
with custom commands and prompt, terminal auto-completion, and
Graven Image <github.com/aartaka/graven-image> integration.
– Guix System <github.com/aartaka/guix-config>.
– StumpWM <github.com/aartaka/stumpwm-config>
with lots of apps,
Binwarp mode <github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm-contrib/blob/master/util/binwarp/README.org>,
and Emacsy keybindings for any CUA app.
– Emacs <github.com/aartaka/emacs-config>.
– aed, my custom wrapper around ed(1) <codeberg.org/aartaka/aed>.
– Nyxt browser <github.com/aartaka/nyxt-config>. Abandoned yet still useful and exemplary.
– My fork of Suckless Terminal <github.com/aartaka/st>.
– My heavily-hardened and Emacsified fork of Surf, Suckless Browser <github.com/aartaka/surf>.
– Classic Vi (not Vim!) config for Lisp programming <github.com/aartaka/emvi>.
– Laconia <github.com/aartaka/laconia-theme> and
Dark Atoll <github.com/aartaka/dark-atoll-theme>, my themes for the software above.
