#introductions

Cat's Eye Technologies has been foisting weird #programminglanguages and other awful computational things on the world since 1995, which is far too long really and it's high time we stopped, but whatever.

Some of our more popular projects are #Befunge (#esolang, 25 years old this year!) and #ALPACA (#DSL for cellular automata.)

One of our recent projects is #SixtyPical, which puts #abstractinterpretation in the service of #retrocomputing.

For more, see catseye.tc/

#SixtyPical update, why not:

Of the features that were in the original vision for SixtyPical, only one remains left to be implemented: saving a register (on the stack or in a temp var) and restoring it later on, and in the meantime doing whatever else you need to with it. This happens all the time in assembly programming, and it would be nice to have static analysis support for it.

I've started on the implementation and, so far so good, but it needs more thorough tests.

Hello!

Cat's Eye Technologies has been foisting weird programming languages and other awful computational things on the world since 1995, which is far too long really and it's high time we stopped, but whatever.

Our most popular project is #Befunge (#esolang) and our latest project is #SixtyPical (#retrocomputing). For more, see catseye.tc/

Our regular Fediverse presence is @catseye. However, that instance is down atm. This is our backup account for such contingencies.

Small #SixtyPical update: I've translated the 2 old picayune projects in github.com/catseye/C64-Demo-De to SixtyPical. The size of the resulting object files is comparable.

I don't really like even having that repo for just those 2 little things, so I'll probably just get rid of it. They can live in "examples" section of the SixtyPical repo from now on.
