Nerdsniped myself again
The past few weeks have seen me continue working on the stuff mentioned in 2021-04-21 , this time, with the backlinks and context search. Written in scheme , i was able to write something that I am more or less happy about. Code can be found here .
It's very likely I'll eventually replace the current 100r build system that takes care of creating the actual website, but that may take a bit more doing. For right now, i am very pleased with how the context search ended up being. Now that I know the relevant algorithms, maybe one way to really solidify this is to rewrite it in C , make it a helluva lot faster than it currently is. Same with the RSS feed generator from 2021-06-06 .
I guess I now finally understand why software engineers of yesteryear were so ready to throw away code or re-implement stuff they've already written in other languages. Mostly because Lisp and other "rapid development languages" allow for discovery of the proper data structures and processes to implement in less dynamic, but more performant, platforms.
