Shepherd doesn't include this as it is quite lean and extensible (service start/stop hooks are functions that can do anything) but Guix includes a Linux container implementation and an abstraction built on top for use by services. The long term vision is to use an object capability security model so, rather than "locking down", a service can only interact with the resources to which it has been passed a reference. No ambient authority, no confused deputies.
For what it's worth the association with GNU is basically historical at this point. RMS has never accepted the original vision of the project (to be the official GNU OS) and the project outgrew GNU's dilapidated infrastructure a long time ago, which the project is finally addressing with the migration to Codeberg. The FSF gave the project a place for people to donate specifically to Guix but have never really embraced it, otherwise. That has been superseded by a dedicated European nonprofit for Guix. The most recent Guix Days gathering before FOSDEM featured a lengthy conversation of breaking ties with GNU entirely but no decision has been made on that, yet.
It seems to me like the better strategy would be to "do the right thing" according to the internal values of the project and make GNU be the one who breaks ties, otherwise the opportunity for positively influencing something important is lost. Still a newcomer though, so that's just my 2c. Hope to be there with y'all in Brussels next year! By the time I found out about it, it was apparently already full.
Very cute little game. The controls feel good. The papercraft art is beautiful. Performance on Steam Deck isn't great, though, averaging 40ish fps when it should easily be a consistent 60.
Thanks Dave, high praise! I was inspired after seeing you all take over the declarative & minimalist programming room at FOSDEM this year.
If you thought this was cool, wait until you see what I ended up using it for: https://deosjr.github.io/dynamicland/
I personally think this is much cooler :) But it needs some more explaining before I can broadly share, I think.
Now that I have you here, a question: am I correct in thinking that in Hoot, eval in the browser does not currently work with macros?
I'm glad you felt inspired! This Dynamicland implementation looks awesome. I look forward to this being shared to a wider audience. :)
Regarding your question, as of Hoot 0.6.1 we now have a psyntax-based macro expander integrated with eval so you can use syntax-rules and syntax-case. There are still rough edges, though. I'm currently focused on some non-Hoot tasks but the next Hoot priority is to implement a Guile-like REPL and really kick the tires on the interpreter before the 0.7.0 release.
Assuming you're talking about reading binary data like (array i8), the GC MVP doesn't have a great answer right now. Have to call back into wasm to read the bytes. Something for the group to address in future proposals. Sharing between wasm modules is better right now.
This was a fun read! I wrote a Wasm interpreter in Scheme awhile back so it makes me happy to see more people writing their own. It is less difficult than you might think. I encourage others to give the spec a look and give it a try. No need to implement every instruction, just enough to have fun.
