   @PythonLinks There are plenty of soft cores for Forth. You can do one in half a screen of VHDL. I do not know why you'd map CAR/CDR to vectors ... Lisp supports strings just as any language.

   As for Python being readable .. we will have to disagree on that.

   That's an incredible amount of complexity and attack surface, resulting it being impossible to write a non-trivial, secure program in that language.

   As if manual resource management is better, while is in fact worse.

   I don't really get the allure of static linking 1000 libraries, all full of vulnerabilities mainly due to the complexity of the language.

   You assume that somehow you'll be able to correctly reimplement the functionality you need better than projects which dedicate their all to produce sound code. Prove it.
   Also, why don't you also reimplement function calls while you're at it?

   Objects were a mistake and are incredibly slow (the CPU intel made with hardware accelerated OOP was very slow)

   That ain't what all objects are. That's only a kind of object, ie a reference object with dynamic dispatch

   Starting in Mastodon 4.2.0, you can filter your searches on Mastodon by language.

   As no one else has done it, I've written an easy-to-use list of all the language codes used on Mastodon:

   ➡️ https://fedi.tips/language-codes-used-by-mastodon/

   Combine these codes with the operator language: to filter your search results.

   For example, if you only want Mastodon search results in French you would include language:fr in your search alongside the keywords or hashtags that you're looking for.
