nmunro31908yYeah, experimenting with Clojure and Scala here... It can't be that unusual to be on the fourth level.
Although finding a keyboard that'll contain the APL characters for later levels can't be easy these days. -
@nmunro yeah I'm not talking about inline either. I mean the one that has a 512 byte limit
-
Some of the groupings makes little sense but I've used many of the languages and even tried out lambda-calculus. Only with pen/paper though, I think it's quite theoretical. C/C++/ASM and Haskell are quite nice though.
-
ygtgngr1068yLambda-calculus here, for university though. No logical person would say "today I want to learn lambda calculus".
-
@capnsoup the memory limit of a first stage bootloader. I know alot of people don't go that far in assembly though
-
capnsoup2438y@jckimble So many weird restrictions in x86 world! All my experience at that level has been with RISC-y archs like ARM and SPARC. I'm guessing that the BIOS+MBR system lets you have just a single sector off the disk to boot with or something?
-
@capnsoup its pretty much rewriting a bootloader you can load other files to chain the bootloader like grub does. a few years ago when i learned assembly osdev.org had competitions to make 'fully featured' oses that would fit within the 512 byte boot sector
-
@jckimble it didn't fit into the picture - it's probably somewhere near the core of Earth.

johnDoe32338yALGOL60... The grandfather of programming languages, Didn't even have a standard io solution 😂 death out of the gate. Still revolutionizes most modern languages though
Never heard of anyone in tier 4+
