Just put up my semi-annual post evangelizing the use of fennel and love2d for the lisp game jam

Finally hacked mpv to play a directory of songs sorted by track number without relying on external tools like ffprobe!

I've been setting up a fennel and emacs powered streaming environment as part of the lead up to the lisp game jam.

The hardest part was finding a browser that supported twitch.

Turns out MPV embeds Lua PUC 5.2 as a scripting language!

So, here is a simple way to bootstrap the fennel compiler and repl within a running session.

Couldn't sleep

Ended up writing an erlang inspired binary decoder for #fennel

Now to wrap it in a macro and have some real fun!

Zipping and unzipping files in fennel has always given me headaches.

LuaZip, the default lua-zip available in Apt only allows you to read files, not write them.

Brimworks has a lua-zip library (my goto) that reads and writes, but has compatibility issue with emscripten in some browsers / operating systems.

This weekend I wrote my own minimal wrapper around lua-zlib in fennel that lets you read a zip file directly into a table of strings and vice versa.

#fennel

in #clojure they overload parens for like six or seven distinct things and that bugged me a lot more; with #fennel we managed to mostly avoid that, with the one exception of multiple-value binds (which don't exist in Clojure)

but it sure would feel tidier to get rid of that one weird exception case

of course the proposed usage is not literally a call to the values special, but in the context of binding locals, it feels like (values a b) has the same construct/destructure symmetry as [a b] data structure notation

one of the things that's always bugged me a bit about the design of #fennel is that we use parentheses mostly for calls to functions/macros but they are also overloaded in binding context to allow binding to multiple values:

(let [input "whatever"
      (v1 v2) (input:match "([aeiou]).*([aeiou])")]
  (print :vowels v1 v2))

at a quick glance if you miss the context, it looks like the second line is a call to a v1 function where it's actually binding

I have been thinking it might be clearer if we bind to what looks like a "call" to values instead:

(let [input "whatever"
      (values v1 v2) (input:match "([aeiou]).*([aeiou])")]
  (print :vowels v1 v2))

it seems clearer and more consistent but I'm not sure it's worth the extra typing... thoughts?

Hot loading modules works! And, I fixed an endian issue that was borking websocket packets greater than 125 bytes.
