Thank you! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) I like your website's design a lot as well. About metka (the markup language), it is very barebones (though I may extend it in the future) - roughly around 300 lines of C - the general idea being that it gives you some simple "commands" that get transformed into HTML structures. I have tried Pandoc in the past, but found it really slow on my older PCs lol

And this is the shell script that generates the entire site: https://codeberg.org/vihmu/site/src/branch/main/build.sh

neocities would be a good archive since social media isn't assured sometimes, i mean neither is neocities but you know. i would do tumblr if you do a lot of fanart. i posted for like a day with a handful of tags & i average 10-20 likes now, which isn't a lot but in a day with OC art, it prob is. you just have to know how to market yourself/grow and it's different on every site :T

I see, thanks for the tip! I forgot Tumblr lets you do that... it was so fun browsing people's profiles when I was younger lol. I will probs implement some sort of archiving script on this site once I make enough artworks for a gallery of sorts :)
You forgot excel VBA
That brought back memories of writing charts in IT class during HS, heh
It’s still the primary programming language for many engineering firms… concerningly
As a fellow Lua programmer, any love for this language is appreciated! "My only gripe with Lua is, ironically enough, that it is dynamically typed." Have you tried Lua dialects that support static or gradual typing, such as Teal and Luau? https://github.com/teal-language/tl https://github.com/luau-lang/luau
I have tried Luau, it is surprisingly nice :D The only issue I see with Lua "dialects" is that they're not that popular, which makes the code less portable across systems. I didn't mention it in the blog post, but I've also been playing around with Umka, which is like a scripted Go. https://github.com/vtereshkov/umka-lang
Great list! I very much admire odin so it was pleasant to see another site mention it. I also really like Go and Lua. Oh and I see you've been experimenting with Umka, which is also another language that caught my attention.
