antender··on The Phix Programming Language
This one is a loose reimplementation of Euphoria language with long enough history of its own. Sadly, the development of the successor to original RapidEuphoria interpreter called OpenEuphoria somewhat stalled after 2014.
antender··on 1MB – Create and share a website under 1MB with the world
Hey, your site looks cool, but could you clarify what advantages it has over other free hostings (shared PHP/MySQL/static) or just Github Pages?
antender··on A Common Lisp REPL on Android
BTW, Android already had Terminal IDE and Termux for years, two console emulators with prepackaged applications. In Termux you can install Picolisp via 1 command and all other options are buildable with either gcc (the hard way) or ecj + dx + dalvikvm (java toolchain, easy way). Written some small programs in JScheme using vim there, it was an ok experience.
antender··on Ask HN: Why does visual programming suck?
VP isn't a bad idea by itself, but its implementations usually have the same problems:

1. It's hard to make a scheme in editor without spaghettifying it. (Partially mitigated by blocks incapsulating parts of scheme in themself, some discipline is required)

2. Usually VP makes it hard to work with complex data structures. The only solution is to basically write the same code as text losing all VP in the process.

http://hiasm.com/ : Very usable constructor for small programs, the only problem with it is that website is in russian.
