I don't want to go to Chel-C
Hi all,<p>My name is Devine, and I&#x27;m to blame for the uxn disaster.. I&#x27;m getting this link thrown at me from all sides right now, so I figured I might as well chip in.<p>I&#x27;m a bit more on the design-y side of things, and all these fancy words to talk about computers and retro computing, are a bit beyond me, and reference an era of computing which I didn&#x27;t really had a chance to experience first hand.<p>But let&#x27;s talk about &quot;the uxn machine has quite the opposite effect, due to inefficient implementations and a poorly designed virtual machine, which does not lend itself to writing an efficient implementation easily.&quot;<p>This is meaningful to me and I&#x27;d love to have your opinion on this. Before setting on the journey to build uxn, I looked around at the options that were out there, that would solve our specific problems, and I&#x27;d like to know what you would recommend.<p>Obviously, I take it that the author is not advocating that we simply return to Electron, and I take it they understand that re-compiling C applications after each change is not viable with our setup, that Rust is manyfolds too slow for us to make any use of it, and that they understand that our using Plan 9, C is not a good candidate for writing cross-compatible(libdraw) applications anyway.<p>So, what should we have done differently?<p>I&#x27;m genuinely looking for suggestions, even if one suggestion might not be compatible with our specific position, many folks come to us asking for existing solutions in that space, and I would like to furnish our answers with things I might have not tried.<p>Here are some directions we tried prior to Uxn:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.xxiivv.com&#x2F;site&#x2F;devlog.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.xxiivv.com&#x2F;site&#x2F;devlog.html</a><p>Ah, one last thing, this is how you fib the first 65k shorts in uxntal:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.sr.ht&#x2F;~rabbits&#x2F;uxn&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;projects&#x2F;examples&#x2F;exercises&#x2F;fib.tal" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;git.sr.ht&#x2F;~rabbits&#x2F;uxn&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;projects&#x2F;examples&#x2F;e...</a>
