Memphis now has a stdlib for handling network requests.

Here's a short demo!

PHEW.

Found a NICE #Python bug in Memphis today. 😂

Second: tuples!

I added a BUILD_TUPLE opcode, similar to BUILD_LIST.

Eventually I will load tuples directly into the bytecode as constants, but I didn't tackle that optimization yet.

Two updates to the Interactive Bytecode Compiler today!

First: async/await. Building an executor for my VM was TOUGH, but the bytecode compiler updates were pretty straightforward.

You can try an async example here: fromscratchcode.com/bytecode-com...

#python #rustlang #bytecode #buildinpublic

Just learned about the asyncio REPL, available in #Python 3.8+.

You can run "await" directly rather than "asyncio.run()".

I'm knee deep in async-land in #Memphis and it's been incredibly helpful.

The Ilkley Moor was unbelievable this moor-ning.

#Yorkshire

And lastly: I've updated the Interactive Bytecode Compiler to include these operators.

You can try this snippet here: fromscratchcode.com/bytecode-com...

#python #rustlang #bytecode #buildinpublic

TIL: #Python generator return values are ignored by for loops and list(), but show up if you call next() directly:

The Half Pint Pilgrimage is just 10 days away.

Small addition to the bytecode compiler today: decorators! (Just the basics for now...)

This just adds a LOAD_GLOBAL and a CALL around the LOAD_CONST and MAKE_FUNCTION we'd see for a basic function definition.

Two new passing tests today in Memphis! Adding generator support to my VM was not too bad, already having a program counter + frame design in place make it kind of just work.

I'll write up more about it soon! #python #programminglanguages

Small deploy today. Dark mode support is coming along. You can also type "yield" and it won't barf.

The interactive bytecode compiler is LIVE and in BETA.

This is STARTING to look and work like a real tool.

I’m struggling to find real connection online for my software mentorship work.

But I know what I offer helps people. I’ve seen it and I’ve felt it.

If you’re stuck on code and want a cheerleader, I’d love to help.

This is a pitch. But it’s also me, honestly trying to find the right people.

these 3 steps are all working on my staging site! I'll get a demo version deployed to prod to share soon.

I'm spinning up a thing. #python #programminglanguages

So simple, yet this blew my mind. #python #programminglanguages
