005B Feedread

trying out newsraft.

behavior-wise, it’s a bit trickier.

it doesn’t allow to toggle “read-items” visibility either.

getting used to it will take time.

reading up on old programming languages, there’s a lot of stuff that’s faded into obscurity.

some more interesting ones:

• BLISS
• PL/S
• MOUSE

BLISS is interesting because it was fairly popular up until C was released.

PL/S has an interesting history: IBM refused to release the PL/S compiler, but released a bunch of their PL/S code used in OS/360. Rand wrote an open-source compiler based off of the available source code using IBM’s XPL (another language based off of PL/S).

MOUSE is like a micro-FORTH: it uses RPN and is stack-based, but one major difference is how limited it is design–variable names are limited to a single character of A-Z.
