Ask HN: Memory-Safe Low Level Languages
7 by hyperbrainer | 8 comments on Hacker News.
I am looking for memory-safe languages that can be used for systems/graphics programming. I love Rust, but it often feels like too massive a language with too much stuff going on. Is there a language like C, which is simpler (obviously without all the UB and other problems)? This is an especially hard ask, given how useful the FP-like features of Rust are, and I find it almost impossible to live without them. Basically, I am looking for a middle ground between C/Zig and Rust. One such language I have found is Austral[0]. What other such languages are there? [0] https://ift.tt/HTjrs62

Show HN: A Common Lisp implementation in development, supports ASDF
17 by andreamonaco | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Implementation of the standard is still not complete, but breakpoints and stepping work quite well! It also has some support for watchpoints, that no implementation has. Now it ships with ASDF and is capable of loading systems! Let me know if you like it. Support on Patreon or Liberapay is much appreciated

I've been monitoring some of the image generation progress for game sprites for a while and was really impressed by Gemini Flash. This demo lets you upload a picture and turns it into an animated pixel character (a lil digi gif that you can download). I chain together the pixel art frames and insert the player into a tricky platforming level. video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK7z-HltssE api usage:Unfortunately Gemini Flash 2.0 image Gen has really tight API limits that don't scale up for paid tiers -- if anyone on the team sees this and wants to help me out, my email is in my profile or you can reach me at hello@lildigi.me level stats:For the speedrunners out there, the fastest glitchless times I've seen around 17-18s. stack:cloudflare pages + aws lambda + gemini happy to answer any questions!
