Hi, I'm a friend of the author. We're currently migrating his blog to one of my servers, wont be long :)

I told him to do that, but he thought he already did! I'll bug him so he does this :)

Hi, the author is my friend. He hosted his Ghost blog on Heroku, but after a certain threshold (traffic-wise) it got deleted.

Re:Show HN: Calc, a simple command-line calulator in C on Tuesday June 09, 2015 @11:39AM (#9686545)
Interesting, this is basically a very simple interpreter with a REPL. You should look into interpreters if this is something you enjoyed creating, there are many efficient and simple algorithms you could use to make this program a lot simpler and even more advanced too. For instance, recursive descent parsing, and the shunting yard algorithm.

I always found DropBox a pain, you have to email them the link, which is a bit more effort than saying going to a short URL and typing in a password. So I could see this being somewhat useful :)

Only thing I could think of is that you can transfer it from one computer to another quickly. And you don't need to create an account (like say if I transferred it through DropBox), just type in a password.
Re:Ask HN: What accomplishment are you most proud of? on Saturday April 18, 2015 @12:10PM (#9399911)
I'm most proud of my compiler for my programming language, it's still in the works, but the fact that it does somewhat work and I made it from scratch makes me happy :)

Ah, that's a Mac font. I'm on Linux, but you should try a more general monospaced font like Consolas, or there's probably one on Google Fonts you can use.
Re:Show HN: Haml.io on Tuesday April 14, 2015 @04:23PM (#9377050)
Can I suggest you use a mono-spaced font for the input/output?

Ask HN: What tools do you use for development?

Posted by freefouran on Friday March 13, 2015 @01:46PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hi HN. What tools do you use for development? It doesn't matter what Operating System, nor the language. I am specifically looking for some interesting tools related to C/C++/Java that could make my life easier, but I suppose anything is welcome since perhaps some others will find them useful (i.e web development related tools, etc).

Show HN: Ink: An LLVM based programming language [WIP]

Posted by freefouran on Sunday January 18, 2015 @03:53PM
from the show-hn dept.

Hi there. I'm working on a programming language -- called Ink - in my spare time, with a friend. It uses LLVM for the backend, the parser and lexer are both hand written in C. The project is just for a bit of fun, we aren't trying to "revolutionize the programming language", but we're okay with being a bit quirky and out of the box with some of the syntax/features in the language. At the...

May as well add to this, but we're actually looking for contributors to help out, so if you're interested in working on a fairly new language then send us a PR :)
Re:Jayfor: LLVM based programming language written in C on Saturday January 17, 2015 @01:11PM (#8904995)
Jayfor/Ink is still far from complete, it's been in passive development for a month or so. No clue why it was posted to HN.
Re:Jayfor: LLVM based programming language written in C on Saturday January 17, 2015 @12:57PM (#8904949)
Hi. I'm the guy that made this :) We're just having fun, we don't see this to replace any existing language like Rust, C or Go. It's still a really small project.
Re:Show HN: JAYFOR a compiled programming language written in C on Sunday December 14, 2014 @05:13PM (#8749751)
This project is still in it's infancy, so if you want to help contribute, feel free to send a pull request :)
Re:Show HN: Java to PHP Compiler on Friday December 12, 2014 @08:19AM (#8739807)
Interesting idea, you should clean it up into multiple files and put it on an actual repository. If you compiled all of Java's libraries, would you be able to self host the trans-compiler?

Awesome setup, what's the desk - I need a new one, mines really flimsy :(
