Your logo and especially your favicon look very similar to the Lua programming language imagery.



For sure! Reading the title, I thought moonrepo and moonbase were projects for MoonScript.


That is generally true, but it's painfully slow for any operations that aren't vectorised or waiting on I/O.


Is this comment suggesting it is slower than other languages for those operations? If so, which languages? How much slower? Recommended tests?

Is it possible that mandating vectorised solutions and avoiding I/O were in fact design goals of the author?

Not disputing the comment. Looking for more details.


k/q/kdb+ are often touted as having C speed, and the architecture of the interpreter is always cited. In my experience raw performance can be compared to python (or R) for iterative work and numpy for vectorised workloads.

It is an array language and focused on storage and numerical processing of large vector oriented datasets. Its speed as a general programming language is overrated and we often offloaded things to C.

I personally love APL derived languages, but its mystique has fostered a lot of hype.

A simple example, write a for loop with dependent data flow. There is not much optimization.


Get your track record audited and then shop yourself to Chicago prop firms. If things look robust, you should have no problem getting capital on a profit split.


It does not. It's all based on the UE4 network stack.


In my opinion, the most tedious part of writing this sort of thing from scratch is the x86/x86-64 instruction encoding. Grab the Intel/AMD manuals or an opcode database and have fun. Other projects to study: LLVM, dynasm, asmjit, peachpy, luajit jit, Intel XED, etc.


FWIW, the series concluding at https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2017/adventures-in-jit-compila... build a Brainf*ck JIT in pure C++, then using LLVM, then in Python using PeachPy


yeah, it sucks. That is what turned me off of initial messing around with JITs. Wish I had known about GNU Lightning then.


>dynasm, ... luajit jit

Aren't these the same thing?


Cool. Although the site breaks my back button on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36


Yep, thanks for pointing that out. I need to fix the redirect from / to /businesses.


Same here on Safari Version 9.1.2 (11601.7.7). Just adding some data points to help you fix :). Certainly not meaning to pile on.

I like it and I have subscribed.

Very useful to see practical working examples of options for passive income in the field. I say passive because I could see myself doing something as a side business.


Same but on latest Android Chrome


Same but on iOS Safari lastest.


I have a couple of their 6 euro/mo shit boxes and I couldn't be happier. I use them for hosting a couple of small apps, torrent boxes, and IRC bouncers.

Bandwidth to the US sucks, but I didn't expect much more. 10Mb/s on this low spec machine.
