<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@cliffle" class="u-url mention">@<span>cliffle</span></a></span> (I don't know how much FPGA background you have and whether you'd like to have more of it)</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@cliffle" class="u-url mention">@<span>cliffle</span></a></span> I think that's an incredibly cool project and if you've shown it to me when I was in uni (... 2011?), right before I started developing the language I eventually deprecated in favor of using the then-still-having-conditions-for-error-handling Rust, I would've been all over it</p><p>unfortunately I haven't touched an MCU in ages, it's all FPGAs now...</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@cliffle" class="u-url mention">@<span>cliffle</span></a></span> sorry, i didn't describe it correctly. it evaluates to the number in []</p><p>it's so that you could write for example `leds[1]` in a constraint and it would evaluate to the right value without quoting it</p><p>awful :D</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@cliffle" class="u-url mention">@<span>cliffle</span></a></span> don't worry, none of the FPGA toolchain vendors believe in exact Tcl spec compliance either; we're in good company by using something similar to but not quite identical to it :D</p><p>Vivado has quadratic `puts` and defines every number to be a command that returns a string corresponding to that number (can you figure out why), for example</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@cliffle" class="u-url mention">@<span>cliffle</span></a></span> basically the thing we'll definitely need _some_ Tcl implementation for is SDC support, and we may or may not end up providing a first-class Tcl interface to the synthesizer itself</p>
<p>Hello EU people:</p><p>There is an EU citizen petition to ban the use of "conversion therapy" on LGBTQ+ folks. If that's interesting to you, you can sign it here:</p><p><a href="https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/</span><span class="invisible">screen/home</span></a></p><p>Please especially take note if you are a national of Spain, Slovenia, Belgium, or the Netherlands; the petition needs about 5x as many votes as it has now, but it also needs to hit a threshold in three additional countries, and those are the four closest.</p><p>Here is a post about the petition:</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/@alchemistsstudio/113946253033171377" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mstdn.social/@alchemistsstudio</span><span class="invisible">/113946253033171377</span></a></p>
