Creating a better TypeScript-like language
I am creating a language similar to Rust and TypeScript that give me the benefits of C and C++ without them actually being C and C++. I wanted to mix the absolute control from C with the simplicity of TypeScript so writing code can be as fast as scripting and it will still run as fast as possible. I know a lot of people like Rust for this purpose, but I find the compiler to be somewhat of a headache when trying to take...

A new custom font file format called Grayscale Raster Font (.grf) for hobbyist operating systems.
Hey, Ive been working on creating a hobby operating system called [PatchworkOS](https://github.com/KaiNorberg/PatchworkOS) for quite a while, and ive very recently started considering modernization of its desktop interface. The main issue that I ran into when I did some early drafts is fonts. Up until now I've just used .psf fonts for everything which results in very pixelated and just straight up ugly fonts, until...

Combination of an unstable brand-new programming language with a crazy one. JIT compiles for an ISA that almost nobody uses. So what's not to like?! :D The project is pretty useless (duh) but I thought you might find it interesting. Implementing the RISC-V instruction encodings was a breeze with Zig's stellar variable length integer support (see the file src/RV64.zig), and Zig also supports choosing the ABI for...
