@gravecat i loooove it ;w;

it's got a little bit of a learning curve to it, especially with lifetime stuff and the borrow checker, but it's so worth it imo

@gravecat let me know what you think!

i never got into C++ much; always favored C and also a lot of high-level languages.

@gravecat i've dabbled with all kindsa stuff. started with Python when i was 10 or so (in the, uh, 2000s >~>) then switched to Ruby, then back to Python, while learning lots of other languages

my current resume lists Python, Rust, C, C#, MIPS and x86 ASM, Scheme, and Haskell

have also worked with a lot of JS, some Ruby and Java, a smidgen of PHP, and a bunch of weird esolangs

@gravecat ooh, i want to learn 6502 ASM! i'd love to do homebrew stuff for NES and/or C64; retrocomputing is a huge interest of mine

Follow

@gravecat i've poked at it a tiny tiny bit while learning about the NES' technical specifications for the purpose of designing my own processor for a fantasy console >>

it is pretty simple; i imagine the simplicity is part of why the 6502 got used in so many different systems
