I don't want to reinvent the wheel every time, but looking at what gnathtml can do, it seems dumb that there is no universal tool that does this without pluming it to something bigger like a git repository viewer

Tied with v-tools, looks like there should be that, and other tools based on whatever languge one is using

12:26

unpx: gnathtml is a very crude perl kludge (comes w/ gnat, half-baked & unmaintained for who knows how many yrs)

12:26

(asciilifeform) 2020-05-16 asciilifeform: searching for, and, grr, not finding, a workable replacement for gnat's 'gnathtml.pl'. which is horrifically buggy, occasionally and for no detectable reason refuses to 'linkify' certain procedures...

12:28

and afaik there's nuffin in the way of 'universal' replacement for it ( aside from phf's old v browser , which iirc is a lisp hack which only runs on his box, no src posted, etc )

12:29

( and phf's is moar or less pure v browser, with afaik no special language support other than a few colourizations )

12:36

Yeah indeed. Reading ngnghm made me think about asciilifeform's os idea

12:38

But I'm not sure which bedrock I should choose

12:40

unpx: see logs

(asciilifeform) 2020-06-08 verisimilitude: Say, asciilifeform, what's the opinion on this: https://ngnghm.github.io

12:44

So I guess we are all in a UNIX-like system because it is the most hackable we can have right now without becomeing a system programmer

unpx: twist: 'become systems programmer' not helps.

asciilifeform: that looks like a promise: to make it ``better'' one can just not make yet another pile of stuff and be as flat as possible (not saying it should be a bazar tho)

~ 16 minutes ~

16:35

Which reminds me this simple thing I've read
