A community discussion thread where developers share unverified programming hunches and unexplored ideas. Topics range from property-based infrastructure-as-code (inspired by FPGA placement and property-based testing), using 32-bit pointers on 64-bit systems to halve memory usage, incremental lambda calculus as an alternative to virtual DOM diffing, carry-flag-based exception handling, microkernel superiority over monolithic kernels, POSIX legacy problems, PIC-like diagram languages with WYSIWYG interfaces, and writing WebAssembly more directly via Lisp-style macros on WAT.
