In the lead up to the upcoming lisp game jam, I've been updating the examples in my libhex library for #love2d to work with version 2.

Over lunch today I wrote an example editor in ~130 lines of #fennel

A fennel is a true work of nature’s art!

(Foeniculum vulgare)

I think I finally figured it out; working on the killer app for #fennel

I made a #blog post about making #websites in #fennel

https://technomancy.us/203

based on my experience creating my own personalized search engine last month

I wanted to figure out how old school blobber RPGs work, so I implemented a grid-based first-person dungeon renderer in Love2D and Fennel.

Naturally, since wall information is hard to represent in textual data, I just made this prototype into an ad-hoc level editor.

Perspective is still a bit off, but I'm pretty happy how this turned out!

A guide to writing reloadable #fennel in #neovim with nfnl and Conjure. It's a very simple recipe and easy to adopt.

#fennel 1.5.3 is out!

https://fennel-lang.org/v1.5.3/#153--2025-02-16

it includes the changes from 1.5.2 which had a critical bug and was immediately superseded

the main things are: 5x faster startup time, and a bug fix for serialization of tables with non-integer keys

please enjoy

so @jaawerth found a pretty nasty bug in #fennel where it would misprint key/value tables as sequences in some cases when using non-integer numeric keys: {1 :a 1.5 :b 2 :c} -> [:a :b :c] so we are going to be pushing out a 1.5.2 bugfix in the next few days!

Fennel in the morning sun.

One of the topics of discussion at this year's #fennel conf was web first development for #Love2D.

One of the issues we face supporting the web build love love2d are the edge cases / differences between Lua PUC 5.1 and Luajit. For those interested in developing for the web using a more recent version of Lua provides some quality of life features comparable to Luajit.

This weekend I got LoveJS running with Lua 5.4 as a POC.

The Love2D team has done a great job ensuring cross compatibility.

So, instead of working on an "real" project over the weekend I got a stay awake feature running in AwesomeWM

#fennel feature of the day:

Fennel 1.5 introduced support for using dynamic field names in set

(set (. tbl field1 .. fieldn) val)

Previously you would have used tset for this.

(tset tbl field1 .. fieldn val)

One less built-in for new users to learn
