2023-02-05 11:07:36 a few quick updates:

2023-02-05 11:10:21 I've written a rust implementation of ilo (so there are now implementations in assembly [aarch64, amd64], c, c++, c#, go, kotlin, lua, nim, python, rust, and swift)

2023-02-05 11:11:32 Work on the embedded aspects is progressing. I have retro/ilo running on a teensy4.1, and will hopefully have a version on the RP2040/Pi Pico later this week.

2023-02-05 11:12:53 I've removed use of hard-coded addresses for the system buffers in retro/ilo.

2023-02-05 11:13:46 For the documentation, I expect to have the dictionary (in epub, gpub, pdf, text, and html) for retro/ilo complete this week.

2023-02-05 11:15:40 I've merged the initial retro/napia extensions into the blocks, so building an image for retro/napia is easier now. I still need to properly document the extensions. As this is based on the retro/ilo system, this shouldn't take too long once I get the retro/ilo dictionary finished.

2023-02-05 11:17:39 retro/nga work: Arland and I are working on completing the needed parts for hashed names in the dictionary. This will make lookups noticeably faster.

2023-02-05 11:18:55 I'm also working on getting all the missing entries in retro/nga into the glossary.

2023-02-05 11:48:16 as a test point on the hashing, using the same d:lookup with string based lookup vs hash lookup 50,000 times gives 73s vs 56s
