    @mlatu i tend to jump between projects, mostly because my "priorities" on dependencies kinda shift. it's considerations like "how much drive could i gather for the complexity and drought of a toy erp [lrp] (i havent rly designed (except some wishes to be fully extendable + handwritten notes/drawings))? vs for just a couple ingame objects to visualize and manage with only basic ingame extendability [ccc]? vs THAT 2nd thing + thoughts about some actual gameplay that are burning my wake hours [hot]"

    so sometimes one of those jumps to the front, being more or less interesting for some reason or another.
    sometimes i forget the clear ccc -> hot -> lrp pipeline that i had laid out somewhere...ill try to organize my development better on plan.cat, perhaps with orgmode even

    [ccc] a city builder / "antfarm" / ui toy
    [hot] a hotel sim
    [lrp] a toy erp game with some goal for a decentralized tool for material cooperation between idiots who think this could be something useful (i wouldnt make it if i wasnt interested in using it i guess. oh god. welcome to my oldest idea of these. its almost as if each time i realized how much effort would have to go into this thing i "invented" another step... another other project... "oh i could perhaps use d instead..." and then run off to explore d based ui solutions. dlang-ui is ok i guess. to be frank i only reconsidered dlang because it is garbage collected and i dont know what to say but i like gc collection. i guess i would also like using rust more, but reasoning about where the stuff goes and having a great tool to call ones errors out is great in and of itself, yay rust, but still, pls give me a lispy repl instead. (to cut shit short:) and janet-lang is (to me) a lispy enough and more importantly its abstractions are not to far hidden away, after a while when working on c-code that is interacting with janet, it becomes just another interface on that side.

    shillmode: activated /jk
    on the janet side you get an environment you can embed in a website, or another c or c++ (other bindings exist too) executable. (you can use it in the tic-80!!!) there is the excellent raylib, bound into jaylib.
    i think :) its really good.

    and the people working with and on janet-lang are really nice too <3

    @mlatu yay me, i did all the documents i could (i dragged them around for weeks in my purse..), now i only have unpayable invoices looming of which some i may or may not be able to dispute, but i still think i will have to ask for a forward from work and/or cant wait for the christmas bonus (assuming it comes) + im exploding from anxiety about the dispute. though that would only cover one undisputable invoice... also: timing is key. the undisputable thing is due in two weeks... haha fml every day all day haha

    that said, i wanted to waste a couple words on my plan.cat plan and the projects im lining up there, then spent the last two hours dumping my thoughts on those and other things, avoiding my dreads above, accidentally hit post and forgot about this post, but thought i could still add it on.. *shrug* ^^'
