I am a systems programmer, I like developing language (especially DSLs) and I love S-Expressions. I also wish to make my own OS. Check my work at github.com/Chubek
Here's a small test for the #SelfTaughtProgrammer to test whether they are a 'magical thinker', or a 'formal subscriber'.

let v = '1' + 1; // ECMAScript

Were your response "This is orthogonal syntax based on Smalltalk-derived operational semantics", you are formal thinker. Otherwise, sorry.

#NotableCSFigures: Donald Knuth, according to TexBook, his middle name is 'Ervin'. His paper on LR(0) parser table construction lead to LALR(1) and later yacc, lemon, and many others bottom-up parser generators. He made literate programming, and TeX.

Amazing CS Books #1: A Practical Theory of Programming - Eric C.R. Hehner

A nice, readable predisposition to whatever theories are behind programming a computer. Are you a high school student? A self-taught programmer? A CS student seeking easy text? It's for you!

Unicode: We give a block to Persian cuneiform, but not a script used by 1.7m people.

Why Unicode HATES This Language!
Tulu is a language spoken by millions in South India, and yet it lacks any form of standardized writing, and its own script isn't even encoded into Unicode! Please feel free to discuss the topic and leave suggestions for what my next video should be about in the comments. Yes, the title is clickbait. Sorry but also like... Lingolizard said it was a good title! So there! :P Also, I know this video isn't the highest quality, but it's really my first attempt and I put at least 40 hours into this. I really hope you enjoy it despite the somewhat shabby art and editing. And hey, if not, you've got something new to make fun of!

TIL algorithms are a 'hoax'. I always suspected bubble sort to be a hoax, but rest of them are real.

I have downloaded, and read, several DOZEN papers on scripting languages: building a VM, FFI, the syntax and semantics. I just wish there was a way I could distill this knowledge and pass it along.

An implementation of ZephyrASDL language, in C, targeting C. github.com/Chubek/Zephy... I am planning to make the target into m4 macros.

You won't believe what I have decided to so. So I have this nifty programmer, and it does not have a Linux application. It's all closed-source but the producer spilled some beans. So based on the spilled beans, what I decide to do is this: MAKE A TREE WALKER LANGUAGE SPECIFIC OT A PROGRAMMER!
