I am a big fan of TBCEditor by Lasse Rautiainen, in case you have not heard about it, it is fork of SynEditthat diverged very significantly and includes support for code folding, fully JSON-based syntax highlighters, minimap and many other features.
Of course a code editor is a very complex piece of software, with many opportunities for bugs to hide. I have been helping by providing some Fuzz Testing code and vectors.
I have been using the feeds aggregator BeginEnd.net as more than just a news aggregator, it is also a Canary: once a new version of DWScript passes tests, it goes live there!
Latest Canary feature is for the new FastMM4 multi-threading improvements by Primož Gabrijelčič, which can be found under the Locking Improvements branch.
As I do not have a better place to drop them, here are some musings related to the Simulation Hypothesis, though not as in The Matrix. Came about them while thinking about how a decentralized simulation (not for a world) could be run, and then one thing led to another.
I recently committed an extension to dwsCrypto lib module that exposes direct support for cryptographic nonces and tokens.
Associate Arrays (aka dictionary) are now in experimental form in the DWScript repository.
A few months after its launch, BeginEnd.net is now seeing about 25k queries every day for almost 500 unique visitors, and it’s time for a few polls to help me gauge things!
Support for floating point modulus has been added to DWScript, it extends the “mod” operator to accept floats.
Non-English Blogs have been added to BeginEnd.net, not many just yet: three in Italian, one French and one Korean!
The BeginEnd.net website itself stays in English, and the posts titles & descriptions are going to be automatically-translated in English (currently through Microsoft Translator service).
Last week www.beginend.net was launched with the goal of aggregating Pascal and Delphi blogs in a mobile-friendly, secure website with a minimalist UI.
The website is Pascal-Powered: the server is Delphi-compiled DWScript Sample Web server, the server-side page generation and APIs are handled by DWS and an SQLite database, and the client-side is a SmartPascal application compiled on-the-fly to JavaScript by the server.
