Systemnahes Programmieren

It is a compiler to Bash 3.2-5.3 with a dedicated syntax focused to be easy but also including type checking and a set of already implemented and battle-tested functions.

We are working to get a Bash feature parity (we are missing pipes as example), improve the bash code quality (using ShellCheck), bash performance (we are removing subshells where they are not needed), code coverage (we have also tests for our Amber syntax and functions) and in the future to split the compiler from the cli (so we can target WebAssembly).

One of our idea is to fine-tune a LLM to provide a free AI to convert your bash/python scripts or help you write Amber itself (we have already the hosting for that but we are missing the model).

We have various issues for newcomers but also for Rust skilled contributors, so if you are looking to something to do in your free time, we are here :-D

Orvalho Spec

I have this idea for some time now and today I decided to write it down the stuff I was analysing on.

Right now I am a little low in time to work on that. I am actually a little frozen on how to approach this project. I posted here so I can gather some ideas to refine this idea or maybe inspire someone to take a similar route.

I see there is this new movement of Cloudflare Workers and things like that and I though it is clever to narrow the scope of what is being sandboxed to achieve greater density. Previously, this approach would be essentially useless because "what kind of stuff one can run in there?" but today there is a whole full stack ecosystem where one can build whole apps using only this model. Also you guys probably have a old unused phone that may work fine or with minor scratches or something but didn't have a use for it. With this system it can be a server!

A system like this would not depend on platform sandboxing mechanisms and would use the vendor drivers initially to provide access to native features.

What do you guys think? Is there any detail I didn't take into account? Am I underestimating the endeavour? Any cool tool or library I should hear about? Any architecture tips? What is the simplest route to success?

My plan is to use this as my masters, that I didn't start yet haha.

Rounding and balancing (of temporal values)

I find Jiff's rounding functionality surprisingly, satisfyingly extensive. I've never tried to determine the number of three month periods between two days, but maybe now I will.

I particularly appreciate the idiot-proof nature of Jiff: it won't let you try to round to months without specifying a relative time (because months are not just some number of seconds!).

I kinda wish there was a better tag for "well designed API for working with a complex topic".
