Dandelion BASIC Devlog.
I feel like giving up on this attempt at Dandelion BASIC.
The file is now 17KB full of bare metal assembly. Having to break this up into files now is going to be a nightmare to manage.
Assembled, I am looking at about 1.3K ROM/Arduino flash used.
Looking at the different C++ implementations, even they max out at thousands of lines of code.
I need to figure out exactly what it is I am chasing when I try and put all this effort into something crazy like another BASIC.
Wow, that's a lot of space. As a baseline, Sunflower basic is 6000 bytes and has a full graphical system and font included. Do you know why it's so large?
Edit: Oh right, I just realized, assembly is very wordy.. yeah okay, I can see it.
Dear Fedi friends,
Next week I have the honor of doing a presentation advocating for the Fediverse in a really prestigious venue (I can't share more now, but I will after it takes place).
I'm currently working on slides and I would love to hear testimonies from YOU. Why the Fediverse is so special to you in contrast to Big Tech platforms (bonus points if you speak French & can reply en français).
I'll share a selection of your testimonies in my slideshow presentation.
Merci beaucoup ❤️
