Taking Shape: Hot Sauce OS

In This Article: Configuring Awesome Sauce Java & Apps Update About Package Design A Language Without Normal Package Declarations Configuring Awesome Sauce Java & Apps: Git It? Well, with enough features in place, and enough R&D, it's now possible to start building.  In the last few weeks, macros and mediators have been upgraded/redesigned, and, while working on those two parts of the program, a bunch of other things have been either sketched out or worked on simultaneously. All the work is leading up to finally being able to build from the ground up. With a stable Awesome Sauce Java, access to the JDK, and a growing set of Lisp functions, it's going to be possible to start another iteration on aspects of the Hot Sauce OS. The first thing I'm doing to build the OS is configuring the code. Awesome Sauce Java is the basis for Hot Sauce.  I'm exploring providing a configurable programming language.  What that means is being able to build libraries ...

Things I'm Working On & All That Yesterday Stuff, Too

I need a job. Meanwhile, I keep writing, because what's the point of saying you can write code if all you're doing is reading job descriptions, writing cover letters (barely), and sending resumes (barely, too)?  I spent years sending letters and applying for all kinds of jobs. Strangely with literally no response. Ever. I work. It's been a strange 7 years since getting assaulted by that guy who came close to tearing my head off. Today I'm working on and writing a few things:  Class definitions. With Awesome Sauce Java, you'll be able to create class definitions like Java defclass definitions like Lisp. One of the things I'm exploring is merging class definition into a new form that's like a combination of both the Java and Lisp methods. If this comes to fruition, it won't obviate class or defclass, just be another way to create classes. Concurrency Oh boy was I thinking about concurrency last night and this morning. Will write a separate ar...
