Lisp in 99 Lines of C with TinyLisp.

As one of the oldest programming languages still in common use today, and essential for the first wave of Artificial Intelligence research during the 1950s and 60s, Lisp is often the focus of interpreters that can run on very low-powered systems. Such is the case with [Robert van Engelen]’s TinyLisp, which only takes 99 lines of C code and….

⁉️The full details on how TinyLisp was implemented and how to write it yourself can be found in the detailed article that’s part of the GitHub project.⁉️

👾It supports static scoping, double-precision floating point and features 21 Lisp primitives along with a garbage collector. Two versions for the Sharp PC-G850 [using BCD (i.e. NaN) boxing] are provided, along with a number of generic implementations, using either double or single precision floating point types.👾

A heavily commented version is probably the version to keep alongside the article while reading.

👾TinyLisp is [as the name implies] very tiny, and thus more full-featured Lisp implementations are widely available. This includes two versions — linked at the bottom of the Readme — also by [Robert] that use a gargantuan 1,000 lines of C, providing a more advanced garbage collector and dozens more Lisp primitives to handle things like exceptions, file loading, strings and debug features.👾 — ….happily runs on the Z80-based Sharp PC-G850V(S) pocket computer with its 2.3 kB of internal RAM and native C support. 👾TinyLisp is [as the name implies] very tiny, and thus more full-featured Lisp implementations are widely available.

You're a non-profit, improving peoples lives and need outside #expertise?

Let's talk.

You're an underfunded government agency or #QUANGO trying to fill a contractor position but having trouble getting the attention the Facebooks and Googles of the world get?

Let's talk.

You're a one-person #business and just need to talk through a problem you're facing with an #engineer for an hour, so you can figure out if it's even a solvable #problem you could hire someone to work on?

Let's talk.

The above (well, except shitting on your head for money) are all things I've done. In general, if you're #helping #people rather than #hurting them for #profit, let's talk. Full-time? Part-time? Contract for just a few hours? You might be surprised.

Hell, I might be surprised. It's happened before.

Thanks for reading. Boosts or sharing with someone who might want my services appreciated.

People who follow me may know that I've been without work for some time. I don't talk about it much. I was laid off from a public #benefit corporation undergoing some restructuring just as companies started firing engineers due to the "AI" hype.

I'm basically semi-retired at this point, mostly involuntarily, but I would love to find #work that I could feel good about to occupy some of my time.

I'm a #software engineer with two-plus decades of experience in a large number of areas. I've worked as an independent consultant in many industries, worked for a consulting company in many others, and held staff positions with tech companies of different sizes in various fields. Most recently I've tended to be designing and implementing APIs for internal and external use. I've been using Python professionally for 25 years, and personally for longer. The list of OSes, languages, and technologies I've worked with is long.

If you need some software-engineer-y things done but you're now saying "We can't possibly afford to #hire someone like that", keep reading.

A lot of things matter to me in choosing what I work on, and who I work for. Money is one. It isn't the only one. It isn't even the most important one. I have an in-my-head sliding scale I use - the better your work matches my #ethical framework, the less #lucre it takes to convince me to help you.

So if you're using "AI" to build #algorithmic pricing systems to sell to companies so they can #gouge people needing services in their most #desperate hour? I *might* entertain a rate of $1000 per hour to shit on your head. There isn't enough #money in the world to get me to help you build that stuff.

On the other hand, if you're a small #company, selling actual #goods or #services to #customers who want and need them, as opposed to building something #shiny to attract the rubes so you can sell your audience to the #advertising industry? And you need a techie person?

Let's talk.

Hey hive mind - I'm keen to start a PhD and move toward academia, and am thinking about potential research topics. I'm an experienced structural #engineer and want to transition toward #sustainability as much as I can. But I'm not sure what that means for viable #research areas...

I have particular expertise in mechanics of #materials, software development ( #Python and #JavaScript), and cold-formed steel / #buckling of thin-walled structures.

Anyone out there have any suggestions for specific topics or general directions?

I'm looking for work!

I'm a high-level infra and devops engineer and team lead.

I've previously run my own team, and previously worked at Mozilla and Facebook. I'm looking for infra/devops lead or senior infra/devops engineer positions.

I'm not looking for pure development positions, but writing scripts, glue, and things like CI - as demanded by infra/devops - are totally fine. I just don't want to be developing the product.

The one thing I can't budge on is that I am exclusively looking for 100% remote positions, due to physical disability. I am based in the UK but I'm happy working with companies anywhere in the world, and capable of shifting my circadian rhythm around to match yours.

My CV is available at cv.dave.io. I am available to start immediately. The CV is a Notion page and can be cloned directly into your workspace if you use Notion. I'm more than happy to answer any questions, and all leads are graciously appreciated. Drop me a public or private mention, or use the other contact details listed on my CV.

My email address is gated behind a humanity check (don't worry, it's automated) at https://dave.io.
