That’s some cool science in @xuu@txt.sour.is’s backyard: https://youtu.be/bzBcs0jv9G4

H… Ho… How have I not heard about vim-tagbar before? 😳

Let’s see 😂

Bought more cheap slot plates (with bad reviews and people complaining about the pin order, because I could’nt find a product without such reviews), but those are simply correct now and just work. 🤪

(Well, one part late in the calendar might need floats, depending on how you solve it …)

@prologic@twtxt.net You won’t need floats, but 64 bit integers are mandatory. 😅

Did I mention mu only supports ints? 🤔 I’m not sure if I’ll need flots for this year’s AoC? 🤔

I’m having to write my own functions like this in mu just to solve AoC puzzles :D

fn pow10(k) {
    p := 1
    i := 0
    while i < k {
        p = p * 10
        i = i + 1
    }
    return p
}

I just completed “Gift Shop” - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/2 – But again, I’m solving this in my own language mu that I had to build first 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Whoop, whoop! Nice! And welcome back. 😅

I’m seeing crashes in the 3D subsystem. (Gallium? Glamor? Whatever other Mesa thing they have? No idea.) In the logs I find this:

malloc(): unaligned tcache chunk detected

And that’s why I still care about Rust and want to learn more about it, even though it’s giving me so much headache and I’ve given up so many times. Because Rust currently seems to be the only popular systems programming language that tries to eliminate these error classes.

And of course “the Rust experiment” in the Linux kernel has recently been concluded as “successful”, so that alone is reason enough for me:

I just completed “Secret Entrance” - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/2025/day/1 — However I did it in my own toy programming language called mu, which I had to build first 🤣

That’s the right answer! You are one gold star closer to decorating the North Pole. [Continue to Part Two]

Whoo! Making progress! With AoC 2025 solutions implemented in my own toy language 🤣

Ahh that’s because I forgot to call main() at the end of the source file. mu is a bit of a dynamic programming language, mix of Go(ish) and Python(ish).

$ ./bin/mu examples/aoc2025/day1.mu 
Execution failed: undefined variable readline

Come back from my trip, run my AoC 2025 Day 1 solution in my own language (mu) and find it didn’t run correctly 🤣 Ooops!

$ ./bin/mu examples/aoc2025/day1.mu
closure[0x140001544e0]

And I’m back from my holidays! 🥳 Back to work boo 😒
