• Go to New Plan

I want to eventually port the raku grammar engine to wasm and support the LSP for the languages developped using this grammar. Adapting rust regex engine seems the most promising way except I have to learn rust. I will probably document my progress using a kanban on notion. Also I have many notes that I will consolidate there. Supporting a treesitter will necessitate to snapshot the compilation of compunits, so as to restart from any snapshot. Textmate grammars won't cut it. An early work for a treesitter for raku is hamt.

To leverage this putative engine, tentatively called slangs, I try to get some proficiency in all things web with a focus on the modern web which is a daunting stack given my current level. At least I have now a better but chainging view of what I know and want to know :

• web frameworks
  • svelte 5/sveltekit
• doing server side stuff client side to do complete demos : stackblitz
• components: daisyui, svelte-shadcn
• styling : tailwindcss
• TUI: neovim, lazygit, charm tools including crush the TUI AI interface.
• I am moving my M2 laptop to omarchy, which uses hyprland. I do so using a variant of asahi, with asahi-alarm which is arch based instead of fedora based but I have to do it semi manually because the omarchy install script is intel dependant. That means forfeiting raycast.
• tty multiplexer : zellij a nod to islamic art.

Various repositories will embody my progress using sideprojects focusing on specific technologies.

Also I learn various tool to organize myself on my macbook : raycast a kitchen sink app switcher, zen to organize my browsing, brave to avoid obnoxious ads on youtube, notion to organize notes and projects, whimsical as a mind mapping and design tool.

I changed my plan. Twice.

• Instead of doing a grammar engine, inspired by svelte that extends the acorn AST, I want to do the polar opposite, doing sructural editing that update the AST and unparse the AST into a rich surface representation. I will use a modified svelte. So the use of codemirror. I had even a beginning of a site at slangs to learn about svelte and tailwindcss.
• TUIs are the way to go fast. So I got into the neovim ecosystem. My story: 3 years of vi, 30 years of emacs, various attempts with textmate,atom... 5 years of vscode, 2 weeks of neovim and going.
