in 2015 I wanted to write a web frontend for guix so I looked into using websocket. no one had written a websocket library for guile yet so I looked at the spec. the spec was surprisingly understandable and not too complicated so I made guile-websocket. I didn't release it until 2022 when I realized other people had found it and were trying to use it. now it's 2025 and I'm using it at work. time is weird. anyway, 0.2.0 is out.

one mistake I made is that saying wasm GC is wonderful wasn't enough to keep the anti GC crowd from saying that no GC managed runtime can do realtime graphics, which is total bullshit btw!

my perhaps foolish dream here is to have enough of a spir-v toolchain in scheme that I can assemble my own shaders. the spec is massive but ignoring extensions and focusing only on vertex/fragment shaders should help scope things down a lot.

wrote enough of a spir-v parser to parse the shader blobs in the sdl3 gpu cube example. am I insane?

thinking about how I was suspended for "computer hacking" just before graduating high school and when I returned my english teacher picked me as "student of the quarter" as a small fuck you to the school (though he never told me that's why) and I got to have a special breakfast with the other students of the quarter which was really just the normal school breakfast but at a special time. what a cool teacher.

santa monica by everclear came on the radio whilst driving home
we can live beside the ocean
leave the fire behind
swim out past the breakers
watch the world die
which felt strange to listen to with the wildfire happening in LA and made me wonder if my friends in pasadena have had to evacuate (they haven't, yet anyway) and then when I got home I saw that parts of santa monica are being ordered to evacuate. it's scary out there... hope fedi folks in LA are staying safe out there :(

hey I just released my first new guile project in a long time. it's called guile-bstructs and it's meant to be a rough equivalent of chez scheme's ftypes but for guile. you can use it to efficiently manipulate binary data. useful for c ffi wrappers, gpu buffer packing, and other things. I'm using it to make sdl3 bindings and so far, so good. hope it's useful to other guilers.

the remaining 200 requests that I suspect are bots are very low volume, though, so I'm mostly happy for now. also added a /robots.txt in case that helps any somewhat polite bots not send requests in the first place.

checked the server logs
more bots! blocked another user agent but there's at least one other that is spoofing their user agent. fuckers!
