I code for Fun!

Projects

• Watim

  A statically typed, stack based, low-level programming language with a self hosted compiler targeting Webassembly.
  In 2022 i tried writing some Webassembly, it was fun but i quickly got annoyed of the verbose syntax and S-Expressions. So i built a simple transpiler from a more convenient syntax to WAT (the Webassembly Text Format.)
  I called it Watim for Webassembly Text Improved.
  Not long after i started adding features on top of WAT, starting with inline string literals and a simple typechecker with primitive datatypes.

  Picture of some Watim code.

  

• Diversion

  I like keybindings, macros and remapping my keys. But all the existing tools i used were always limited in some way i didn't want to accept, i simply wanted more control!
  Diversion intercepts all input events from the Linux Input Subsystem for every device you want. This includes keyboards, mice, controllers and even your power button.
  All of these then simply get passed on to a customisable lua script which can do anything whatsoever with the event, like:

  • pass it along to the rest of the system,
  • manipulate it before passing it on,
  • fabricate another event instead,
  • swallow it,
  • store it,
  • inspect it,
  • spawn external processes,
  • invert your mouse movements,
  • delete all your files,
  • send an insulting email,
  • or simply do nothing
  
  Of course, all of this power comes at the cost of ease of use and perhaps security.
  You might think this must create some unbearable input lag, i did too. But diversion has been intercepting every keypress and mouse movement on my machine for over a year now, i cannot tell.

• Advent of Code

  I like functional programming, so i did Advent of Code in Haskell.
  I also tried Purescript and translated many of my Haskell solutions to purescript. You can find them here
