AltME: Announce

Messages

Kaj: 18:39It is not on the website yet, but you can use the instructions for the Atari version:

Kaj: 21:30Note that error messages for undefined words and paths are now extended with suggestions for an alternative, when available. The Meta compiler now detects words and paths from other REBOL-like languages: REBOL 3, REBOL 2, Red, Red/System and Boron. This makes it much easier to try out and convert REBOL code

21:31Some words from the Logo, Lisp and Scheme language families are also detected, and alternative suggestions provided

Kaj: 00:03I released Meta for Windows, Apple Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD & OpenBSD:

Oldes: 17:23I'm having progress with a `crypt` port...

eFishAnt: 17:16Oldes, that is serendipitous! Let me know when I can try it out!

Oldes: 11:09So far it is in the `crypt` branch https://github.com/Oldes/Rebol3/tree/crypt
No build yet... there is still a lot of details to solve. Meanwhile I also experiment with the SMTP protocol, because that is something I will need soon. So far I can get thru the handshake communication using the existing TLS protocol, so I just have to review the old Graham's SMTP scrip to shape it to my expectations.

Oldes: 11:20I'm now able to make a TLS server in Rebol (work in progress)

Kaj: 19:44I published Mortal Coil, the first graphics & sound demo in Meta, for Atari 8-bit:

https://language.metaproject.frl/programs/

I ported it from an original in 6502 assembly. The original won first place in the 128 bytes competition at the Atari Outline Demo Party 2017.

I used this example throughout the development of Meta to guide its design and implementation.
