Poking Technology (aka hjalfi) is David Givens' youtube channel and I believe there have been videos in the past on implementations of this or related anyway.

Cowgol, as in "cowgirl" or "cow-goal" ?


Likely "cow-goal" as a play on "Algol".


If someone writes a decompiler, they could call it the reverse cowgol.

Sorry...


The exit is that way, sir.


Cowgol is an experimental, Ada-inspired language for very small systems (6502, Z80, etc).


Thanks. That should be in the title of the post.



Exactly. How much "work" is it to type out a useful title? Almost none. And yet we see one douchily obscure title after another, and those who politely call for better get berated.


That's not how HN titles work but you can find out a lot about how and why they work like they do in the docs and reams of mod comments. There's a Talmud's worth of stuff in there.


How they "work?" They don't "work." You create a post and type out an appropriate title. Or not, and then you can deal with someone who calls you out on it. Your choice.


I'm not sure I understand your point, sorry.


I like the writing style there. For feature listings, "You get ..." =D
