Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (February 2026) by Heathcorp on Sunday February 08, 2026 @07:24PM (#46940071)
Implementing a hobby HDL for designing circuits in Wireworld and other Cellular Automata. The eventual goal is to create a larger Wireworld computer than the original (https://www.quinapalus.com/wi-index.html). If this project actually ends up working, I may attempt to optimise some large Conway's Game of Life designs. Currently I'm at the stage of rewriting the language's solver.

WIP language spec: https://gist.github.com/Heathcorp/13fcd206fdc38ca6ce001f32ef...

Writing the compiler/solver in Rust with no AI assistance because this is a learning project.
