Crosscut

Daily Thought - 2024-10-02

Hey, I'm Hanno! These are my daily thoughts on Crosscut, the programming language I'm creating. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, please get in touch!

This thought was published before Crosscut was called Crosscut! If it refers to "Caterpillar", that is the old name, just so you know.

Okay, let's step back for a moment. I wanted to talk about the code update algorithm, but first I needed to lay some foundations. For that reason, I've been giving some context on the code update algorithm: the output it produces and how I intend to use that.

I also said that I was going to explain some details about the representation of code in the compiler next. But I think this is no longer necessary! Because during my explanations over the last few days, I realized that I can get away with a simpler approach.

Which is a nice side effect of writing daily. I helps me think, and by extension, come up with better solutions. So I guess tomorrow, I'll collect my thoughts and present a revised plan for the code update algorithm!
