@Bubu I really like ST too, but I think you could kill some devs by having them use it x)

Bubu :progress_pride: @ FOSDEM

@astra_underscore We had Dan Ingalls visiting our university/our professor at some point and he gave a presentation about the history of smalltalk. The presentation was obviously prepared and presented in Squeak Smalltalk.

It's been a while, but good memories.

LisPi

@astra_underscore Clasp Common Lisp, now with bindings to COM I guess.

@astra_underscore@wetdry.world Too many cursed things to easily pick one.
Well done!

@astra_underscore Typst It's like LaTeX but I personally find it more readable

Edit: Oh, wait, you wanted cursed things oops

Sigma

@astra_underscore@wetdry.world I voted Forth, but honestly I'd probably go for a custom DSL. ^^ I recently heard a story about someone who built a custom setup for deployment automation that used git branches to determine which action to execute next.

@astra_underscore@wetdry.world build all the business logic in transact SQL running on Microsoft SQL server (preferably an older edition)

@astra_underscore oh forth, absolutely. Nothing like byte compiled definitions loaded from blocks. Preferably on bare metal. Complex stuff in just a few kilobytes!

Stéphanie

@astra_underscore@wetdry.world 6502 assembly in a custom emulator that uses memory maps for additional I/O (though 64kiB of memory might be a bit tight for your application)
