I've already been improving Lobster's speed a lot in recent times: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster/blob/master/tests/compa... Self-hosting would be cool too, but for both Lobster and Goose I've tried to keep it simple for people to…

…you'll appreciate that Lobster lets you use similar exhaustive switches to Rust's enum instead: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster/blob/master/tests/types...

…me want to play the game, and check out lobster, but didn't link to it - lobster is open source: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster . It doesn't look like the voxel engine is, though, which is a bummer. On reflection, I'm guessing that…

https://github.com/aardappel/lobster/blob/master/samples/lob... It brings the joy back to graphics and game programming.

…on this open source project though which provides the language its written in and core engine tech: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster

…the author didn't mention the Lobster programming language when evaluating a successor language: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster The language seems to be exactly what he was looking for - a high-performance high-level language…

…But you can see some more for yourself, including screen shots of the author's unreleased game: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster/issues/136 I think what lobster really needs at this point is a page that prominently displays better…

…it more expressive than C without all the boilerplate. Zig ( https://ziglang.org ) and Lobster ( https://github.com/aardappel/lobster ) are also pretty interesting!

…view markdown pages. I guess for now, to read the docs online you could read the raw markdown here: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster/tree/master/lobster/doc... Better yet, just download the repo and read the html files in docs/
comment by Aardappel · 2019-04-04 · in The Lobster Programming Language -
There are some releases which come with pre-built exes for e.g Windows: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster/releases I'd highly recommend you build it yourself though, which can be done rather easily with VS (2019) on Windows or CMake on…

This looks really fun: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster/blob/master/lobster/sam... Are the generators implemented entirely in user space using continuation passing style? And the coroutine function turns it into something pausable?…

…to bytecode and C++ source. Looking at recent commits, there's some non-functional WASM support: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster/commit/5b89bacd1b1d1e63...

Same program in Lobster (a Python-alike statically typed language with built-in graphics): https://github.com/aardappel/lobster/blob/master/lobster/sam...

…Maybe for fun projects. (And for something that's a little different, I recommend a look at https://github.com/aardappel/lobster - it's a breath of fresh air among scripting languages; practically, I still recommend Lua over anything else)
comment by beagle3 · 2015-04-13 · in Squirrel – A high-level, light-weight scripting language -
…for some features, another interesting and practical little language is Aardappel's Lobster: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster ; I really like the fresh approaches that he takes.
