#SquirrelJME: Opera is having a rough time connecting to the internet when there is no network code support.

So I imported SquirrelJME's predecessor k8 (which is also a Java Virtual Machine, in private repository because deadname) and pretty much this filled out lots of my old GitHub history because I worked on the project for like two years. I do actually pull some things from k8.

I like this battery life.

Of course it is on Instances which I am not on!

Nice keybase supports Mastodon now!

OH MY GOSH I FOUND STARGATE ON COMET (WPNT 22-3) AND IT PLAYS ALL DAY MONDAY AND TUESDAY! AAAAAA I AM SO NERDING OUT RIGHT NOW! 🐿️🌺

#SquirrelJME: I rewrote the stack handling code that I previously wrote and made this one immutable! Actually making it immutable makes it easier to use and more precise, which is nice!

#SquirrelJME: Refactoring my Java byte code to register code compiler and I decided that I need to map out all of the possible instructions along with their encodings. Currently there will be 16 groups/encodings of 16 instructions each.

#SquirrelJME: My compiler is making a bunch of reference uncounts and returns at the end, so I figured I can just order these so they all fall into each other!

#SquirrelJME: So now useless jumps to the following instruction are removed, so this constructor which calls another constructor is now just a few instructions!

#SquirrelJME: Now duplicate reference count cleanups are not made and any exception handlers which point to these cleanups are removed. This makes the code a bit smaller with less duplicate areas which is nice.

#SquirrelJME: I implemented what I call QuickCaching, basically if a local variable that is never written to placed on the stack it becomes cached. So in the case of this method call it just uses the cached local instead. This makes the code faster and smaller!

#SquirrelJME: So I have this small constructor which calls another constructor translated to register format. I have noticed the duplicate UNCOUNT+RETURN for returns/exceptions. I figured there would be lots of duplicate code for various return points, so I am going to condense.

#SquirrelJME: Working on the translation of Java byte code to a format which uses registers and also has exception handlers which are part of the code itself. Making exceptions just part of the code simplifies the design of the upcoming virtual machine since now it is just code.

Lasagna!

All of this came from the trapezoid I drew...

This #InternationalWomensDay is when I reach one year of HRT! I am a woman and gosh I am adorable! Have a picture I took months ago! Remember that you are valid and wonderful! #TransRightsAreHumanRights !

I GOT MY NEW BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND I WAS BORN A GIRL!

Squirrel!
